摘要
The silole-based non-Langevin conjugated polymer KP115 has been used to demonstrate that circuit resistance is a crucial parameter in time-of-flight measurements of organic photovoltaic cells, providing a resistance-dependent bimolecular recombination coefficient. The origin of this behaviour is the biphasic decay dynamics present in KP115:PCBM devices (observed using a novel time-dependent charge extraction technique), which time-of-flight cannot accurately characterise.
