摘要
This paper reports on the detail analysis of the DC electrical and photoelectrical properties of the high-efficient (eta = 8.01% under standard 100 mW/cm(2) AM1.5 illumination) small molecule bulk heterojunction (SM BHJ) solar cells p-DTS(FBTTh2)(2)/PC70BM. In this SM BHJ solar cell, the dark diode current is determined by the multistep tunnel-recombination via interface states at low forward bias (V < 0.65 V) and the interface state assisted thermionic emission at high forward bias (V > 0.65 V). The effect of illumination on the diode current was also quantitatively investigated. It was observed a reduced Shockley-Read-Hall recombination via interface states at large forward bias (from the maximum power point to the open-circuit conditions). The expression of the load I-V characteristic of the illuminated high-efficient SM BHJ solar cells was derived in the presence of the light dependent series and shunt resistance.
