Transient photovoltage and photocurrent of polymer:fullerene solar cells — •Alexander Förtig1, Daniel Rauh1, Carsten Deibel2, and Vladimir Dyakonov1,21Bavarian Centre for Applied Energy Research e.V.

Improvements in the performance of organic solar cells based on polymer:fullerene blends are strongly dependent on understanding dominant loss processes within these devices, such as bimolecular recombination. Especially measurements under working conditions of the solar cell are attracting legitimate interest. Therefore, we used transient photovoltage and transient photocurrent measurements in order to determine the charge carrier lifetime and density of poly(3-hexylthiophene):[6,6]-phenyl-C61 butyric acid methyl ester solar cells. Transients were performed over a wide range of light intensities. The experimental results are discussed with respect to recent findings concerning the order of the charge carrier decay rate in organic solar cells.
