Abstract

Organic solar cells based on Poly (3-hexylthiophene) [6,6]-phenyl C61-butyric acid methyl ester (P3HT-PCBM) were fabricated in standard architecture by spin-coating on glass and on flexible polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrates in ambient laboratory environment. In addition to the conventional DC characterization, impedance spectroscopy was used in order to study the capacitive behavior of the devices and obtain their electrical parameters. In combination with the electrical characterization methods, laser-beam-induced current (LBIC) measurements were used as a non-destructive method of mapping the photocurrent distribution and analyzing local device failures and macroscopic defects (shunts, dark spots, defects). The results of the study can be used to develop guidelines for the development and design of P3HT:PCBM solar cells in ambient environment.
