The electrochemical photo effect is analysed in terms of the Gurney model of electrochemical charge transfer. Various absorption processes and their effect on the proton discharge step of the hydrogen evolution reaction are treated and the dependence of the photo effect on radiation frequency and electrode potential is derived for each absorption process. The analysis is compared with the presently available experimental results and a useful application of the photo effect is outlined.

ABSTRACTOptimization of the interface between the organic semiconductor (OSC) & the source-drain (S/D) electrode is critical in order to improve organic thin film transistor (OTFT) device performance. This process typically involves coating the metal S/D electrodes with an optimal self-assembled thiol layer; a process that requires pristine metal surfaces for successful treatment. Obtaining contamination free surfaces can be challenging in the case of printed metal electrodes. Here we demonstrate an effective strategy to address this issue by introducing a brief low power forming gas plasma treatment prior to the surface coating step. We show a two orders of magnitude decrease in the contact resistance as a result of this treatment.
