abstract: The fabrication and property characterization of bulk heterojunction photoactive layer made of blend of poly[2-methoxy-5-(2'-ethyl-hexyloxy)-1,4-phenylene vinylene] (MEH-PPV) and (6,6)-phenyl C61 butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) and fabricated by screen-printing technique was carried out. Effects of the photoactive solid concentration, temperatures at 15, 25 and 35°C and shear rate ranging from 100-104 sec–1 on the viscosity was investigated and shows that 1, 3 and 5% solid concentrated solutions are possible for using as ink in this technique in term of rheological property. Thickness of the films fabricated from different solid concentrated solutions at different print speed was measured and show a dependency of film thickness on print speed as well as exponential law dependence on solid concentration of the solution. Surface morphology and absorption coefficient of the films was also carried out and confirms that the films formed by the screen printer is well-adapted for fabricate photovoltaic devices.
