We investigate the effect of molecular doping in poly[2,6(4,4-bis-(2-ethylhexyl)-4H-cyclopenta[2,1-b:3,4-b0]-dithiophene)-alt-4,7-(2,1,3-benzothiadiazole)] (PCPDTBT) and its blend with [6,6]-phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM). Tetrafluoro-tetracyanoquinodimethane (F4-TCNQ) is used to dope PCPDTBT via co-solution at different concentrations. The effect of doping on the transport properties of the neat polymer as well as of the blends is investigated with field effect measurements while photoinduced absorption spectroscopy is employed to get information on the charge separation efficiency. Bulk heterojunction solar cells with molecularly doped active layers were also prepared and characterized. We demonstrate that molecular doping is a simple and effective method to improve the performance in polymer:fullerene solar cells by reducing the recombination and increasing the hole mobility.
