Charge Generation and Recombination in Dye-sensitized Solar Cells — •Michael Meister, Henrike Wonneberger, Chen Li, Klaus Müllen, and Frédéric Laquai — Max-Planck-Institute for Polymer Research, Mainz, Germany

Charge recombination is one of the efficiency limiting processes in bulk heterojunction and dye-sensitized organic solar cells. To determine the presence of charges and the dynamics of charge generation and recombination photoinduced absorption spectroscopy (PIA) and transient absorption spectroscopy (TAS) are particularly useful techniques, since most of the investigated states are non-emissive. These methods allow to investigate all important mechanisms that lead to photocurrent generation beginning with the excitation of the dye, followed by charge transfer to a metal oxide semiconductor and regeneration of the dye by an electrolyte or an organic solid state hole conductor. In this study, we present spectroscopic experiments on dye-doped titanium dioxide films using novel all-organic perylene monoimide dyes as sensitizer with and without solid state hole conductor and on real device structures. We correlate the observed charge generation and recombination dynamics with the device efficiency to understand the relation between dye-structure, photophysics and device performance.
