24. The longer dipping time, i.e., 60 s, in THF/MeOH (1:1) solvent did not increase the β-phase content. Additionally, we tried to obtain higher β-phase content (25 %) by dissolving PFO in cyclopentanone as proposed by Khan et al. [19]. However, the β-phase content was only 1.12 % as revealed by the deconvolution of the UV absorbance spectrum from the PFO film formed by spin-coating from the PFO solution. Therefore, data of device performance from PFO with β-phase content much higher than 1.32 % is not available.
