Charge Transport in rr-P3HT:PCBM Blends - The Impact of Ultrahigh Regioregularity on Hole Transport and Device Performance — •Ralf Mauer and Frédéric Laquai — Max-Planck-Institut für Polymerforschung, Mainz, Deutschland

Blends of poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) and [6,6]-phenyl C61 butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) have emerged as a prototypical material system for bulk heterojunction solar cells with reasonable efficiencies during the past five years. Despite tremendous engineering efforts to push devices to 5% power conversion efficiency (PCE), the correlation between charge carrier mobility and device performance is still up for debate. Theoretical models range from "the higher - the better" over optimum finite mobilities to no effect of mobility on PCE at all.

We investigate charge transport in pristine P3HT films and in blends with PCBM by the time of flight (TOF) technique and analyse the results in the framework of the Gaussian disorder model. In order to understand the effect of charge transport on solar cell efficiency, we examine P3HT with three different regioregularities, i.e. regiorandom P3HT, rr-P3HT with high (rr=94%) and with ultrahigh (rr>98%) regioregularity. While the regioregularity is known to have a strong influence on the charge carrier mobility, its effect on other transport parameters, especially on the energetic disorder of hole transport in P3HT, is reported by us for the first time.

Finally, we correlate the TOF results and spectroscopic measurements with device performance to determine the influence of charge transport on the power conversion efficiency.
