20. Lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO)/highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) levels of the materials used in this study: -2.8/-5.1 (BP3T), -2.6/-4.7 (P6T), -3.5/-5.2 (CuPc), -3.4/-5.0 (ZnPc), -4.2/-5.7 (SnPc), and -4.5/-6.2 (C60). Unit of the levels is eV. We estimated HOMO and LUMO levels for BP3T and P6T from the ionization potential and the optical absorption edges of each thin-film. The others were from the literature.
