We performed temperature dependent transient photovoltage and photocurrent measurements on poly(3-hexylthiophene):[6,6]-phenyl-C61 butyric acid methylester bulk heterojuction solar cells. We found a strongly charge carrier concentration and…
We studied the recombination dynamics of charge carriers in organic bulk heterojunction solar cells made of the blend system poly(2,5-bis(3-dodecyl thiophen-2-yl) thieno[2,3-b]thiophene) (pBTCT-C12):[6,6]-phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl…
We investigate nongeminate recombination in organic solar cells based on copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) and C$_{60}$. Two device architectures, the planar heterojunction (PHJ) and the bulk heterojunction (BHJ), are directly compared in view…
Apparent recombination orders exceeding the value of two expected for bimolecular recombination have been reported for organic solar cells in various publications. Two prominent explanations are bimolecular losses with a carrier…
We propose a model to explain the reduced bimolecular recombination rate found in state-of-the-art bulk heterojunction solar cells. When compared to the Langevin recombination, the experimentally observed rate is one to four orders of…
Charge carrier recombination is studied in operational organic solar cells made from the polymer:fullerene system PCDTBT:PC71BM (poly[N-9"-heptadecanyl-2,7-carbazole-alt-5,5-(4',7'-di-2-thienyl-2',1',3'-benzothiadiazole)] :…
We investigated photogeneration yield and recombination dynamics in blends of poly(3-hexyl thiophene) (P3HT) and poly[2-methoxy-5-(30,70-dimethyloctyloxy)-1,4-phenylenevinylene] (MDMO-PPV) with [6,6]- phenyl-C61 butyric acid methyl ester…
Radiative and non-radiative charge carrier recombination in thin-film diodes plays a key role in determining the efficiency of electronic devices made of next generation semiconductors such as organic, perovskite and nanocrystals. In this…
We report on the non-trivial field dependence of charge carrier recombination in an organic blend at low temperatures. A new microwave resonance technique for monitoring charge recombination in organic semiconductors at low temperatures is…
In polymer:fullerene solar cells, the origin of the losses in the field-dependent photocurrent is still controversially debated. We contribute to the ongoing discussion by performing photo-induced charge extraction measurements on…
The charge carrier mobility is a key parameter for the organic bulk heterojunction solar cell efficiency. It was recently shown that the interplay charge carrier transport and recombination, both depending on electron and hole mobilities,…
Organic bulk-heterojunctions (BHJ) and solar cells containing the trimetallic nitride endohedral fullerene 1-[3-(2-ethyl)hexoxy carbonyl]propyl-1-phenyl-Lu3N@C80 (Lu3N@C80-PCBEH) show an open circuit voltage (VOC) 0.3 V higher than similar…
Transient photovoltage (TPV) and voltage dependent charge extraction (CE) measurements were applied to poly(3-hexylthiophene)(P3HT):[6,6]-phenyl-C61 butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) bulk heterojunction solar cells to analyze the limitations…
Organic solar cells have the potential to be low-cost and efficient solar energy converters, with a promising energy balance. They are made from carbon-based semiconductors, which exhibit favourable light absorption and charge generation…
Recombination losses contribute to reduce $J_{SC}$, $V_{OC}$ and the fill factor of organic solar cells. Recent advances in non-fullerene organic photovoltaics have shown, nonetheless, that efficient charge generation can occur under small…
Surface recombination has a major impact on the open-circuit voltage ($V_\text{oc}$) of organic photovoltaics. Here, we study how this loss mechanism is influenced by imbalanced charge transport in the photoactive layer. As a model system,…
The radiative recombination, Shokley-Read recombination, frontal-surface and rear-surface recombination and the recombination at the heterojunction boundaries and the recombination in the space charge region are considered in the…
A combination of transient photovoltage (TPV), voltage dependent charge extraction (CE) and time delayed collection field (TDCF) measurements is applied to poly[[4,8-bis[(2-ethylhexyl)oxy]benzo[1,2-b:4,5-b']dithiophene-2,6-diyl]…
Surface recombination affects both light-to-electricity and electricity-to-light conversion in solar cells (SCs). Therefore, quantitative analysis and reduction of surface recombination is an important direction in SC research. In this…
The theoretical effects of phase separation on encounter-limited charge carrier recombination in organic semiconductor blends are investigated using kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) simulations of pump-probe experiments. Using model bulk…
