Abstract

Amino acids, as ubiquitous biological compounds, are effective in surface modification of indium tin oxide (ITO). The modified ITO reveals a work function decrease by up to 2.2 eV (i.e., from 4.7 eV to 2.5 eV), which makes the ITO a stable, transparent, and widley used cathode in organic optoelectronic devices, such as organic solar cells and light-emitting diodes.
