Abstract
Transient characteristics of organic bulk-heterojunction solar cells have been studied using pulsed laser probing. An analysis of the photoresponse waveforms of a typical solar cell measured by varying load resistance within broad range at different values of the bias voltage provided detailed information on the photocell parameters that characterize electron-transport properties of active layers. It is established that the charge carrier mobility is sufficient to ensure high values of the fill factor (∼0.6) in the obtained photocells. On approaching the no-load voltage, the differential capacitance of the photocell exhibits a sixfold increase as compared to the geometric capacitance. A possible mechanism of recombination losses in the active medium is proposed.
