photorefractive (PR) application because of a fast hole mobility. In most of the previous studies, phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) was used as a sensitizer. In this study, a high-performance charge generator perylene bisimide (PBI) is synthesized and added into the composite. PBI derivatives owning a large core of π-conjugated rings provide a high electron affinity and high charge carrier mobility. These features are promising to improve PR properties. To the best of our knowledge, it is the first time for using a combine of PCBM and PBI to improve the PR performance of PDAA-based composites. 2-(4-(azepan-1-yl)benzylidene)malononitrile (7-DCST) is used as a nonlinear optical chromophore. (4-diphenylamino)phenyl)methanol (TPAOH) is used as a plasticizer. Consequently, a diffraction efficiency of 76 % and a response time of 8 ms were obtained with 532 nm green laser under the electric field of 55 V μm-1. As a conclusion, the introduction of PBI is a promising approach for the photorefractive composite owning the video rate response.
