Competition between recombination and extraction of free charges determines the fill factor of organic solar cells
Among the parameters that characterize a solar cell and define its power-conversion efficiency, the fill factor is the least well understood, making targeted improvements difficult. Here we quantify the competition between charge extraction and recombination by using a single parameter θ, and we demonstrate that this parameter is directly related to the fill factor of many different bulk-hetero...
متن کاملUltrafast dynamics of charge carrier photogeneration and geminate recombination in conjugated polymer:fullerene solar cells
We investigate the nature of ultrafast exciton dissociation and carrier generation in acceptor-doped conjugated polymers. Using a combination of two-pulse femtosecond spectroscopy with photocurrent detection, we compare the exciton dissociation and geminate charge recombination dynamics in blends of two conjugated polymers, MeLPPP methyl-substituted ladder-type poly p-phenylene and MDMO-PPV pol...
متن کاملGeminate and Non-geminate Recombination in Amorphous Semiconductors
One of the characteristic features of amorphous semiconductors is the low carrier mobilities which result from small carrier mean-free-paths due to disorder. When the mean-free-path becomes comparable to the Coulomb radius of an electronhole pair. both photogeneration and recombination processes can be affected. The photogeneration process can be controlled by geminate or initial pair recombina...
متن کاملPolymer solar cells with enhanced fill factors
Recent advances in polymer solar cell (PSC) performance have resulted from compressing the bandgap to enhance the short-circuit current while lowering the highest occupied molecular orbital to increase the open-circuit voltage. Nevertheless, PSC power conversion efficiencies are still constrained by low fill factors, typically below 70%. Here, we report PSCs with exceptionally high fill factors...
متن کاملRapid and Accurate Determination of Series Resistance and Fill Factor Losses in Industrial Silicon Solar Cells
Lower than ideal fill factors (FF) are caused by parasitic series (Rs) and shunt (Rshunt) resistances, and non-ideal diode properties. The challenge is to quantify the FF losses quickly, simply and without ambiguity. Extracting the parameters by fitting the illuminated or dark measured data with the double diode equation is inaccurate since the externally apparent Rs is not constant; it varies ...
