In this work, we present and support the positive influence of 1,8-diiodooctane (DIO) as processing additive for the fabrication of solution processed near infrared (NIR) organic photodiodes (OPDs) based on the spray-coated blend of [6,6] phenyl-C70-butyric acid methyl ester (PC70BM) and poly[(2,5-bis(2-hexyldecyl)-2,3,5,6-tetrahydro-3,6-diox-opyrrolo[3,4-c] pyrrole-1,4-diyl)-alt-([2,2':5', 2''- terthioph-ene]-5,5''- diyl)] (PDPP3T). Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis show that the use of DIO improves donor- acceptor interfaces in the bulk heterojunction (BHJ) layer. Besides the enhancement of electron/hole transport pathways that leads to higher efficiencies, it reduces significantly the roughness of spray coated layers. The External Quantum Efficiency (EQE) is increased up to 35% at 900 nm and the dark current is decreased one order of magnitude in comparison to the reference down to 20 nA/cm(2) at -5 V. The OPD's detectivity is increased from 1.66x10(11) Jones to 3.34x10(12) Jones and the linearity response is improved. A comprehensive morphological and electro-optical characterization of the generated layers and devices is the main focus of this work.
