This paper reports an application of Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) phase imaging to observe the phase separation between electron donor and acceptor materials in bulk heterojunction organic solar cells. The solar cells were fabricated using inkjet printed thin films of blended poly (3-octylthiophene-2,5-diyl)(P3OT) and (6,6)-phenyl C71 butyric acid methyl ester (PC71BM) as donor and acceptor materials respectively. The content PC71BM in the blended was varying from 25, 50 and 75 wt %. The AFM phase images of the thin film which contains 25 wt % PC71BM indicated that the acceptor molecules, PC71BM, are well distributed in the polymer chain of donor material, P3OT. The solar cell contains this film has the highest generated photocurrent. Hence, the phase separation between electron donor and acceptor materials in bulk heterojunction organic solar cells is one essential aspect that influences generation of photocurrent.

AbstractCarrier drift mobility is an important physical constant in the charge transport process of organic solar cells (OSCs). Although time-of-flight and space-charge-limited current techniques have been frequently utilized for mobility measurements, the validity of a new method using modulation photocurrent spectroscopy is discussed in this contribution. The advantages of this method are its applicability to working OSCs with optimized device structures and the simultaneous determination of the electron and hole mobilities. These features make it possible to study the relation between the mobility balance and the solar cell characteristics, such as the power conversion efficiency, using only a single working OSC; hence, it is not necessary to fabricate electron-only and hole-only devices for mobility measurements. After carrying out numerical simulations to examine the validity of this method for mobility determination, the dependence of the mobility balance on the mixing ratio of the electron-donor and –acceptor materials is presented.
