Abstract

The so-called hybrid (organic-inorganic) solar cell has been developed due to the combining advantage between organic material such as Poly(3-hexylthiohene)/P3HT and inorganic material such as zinc oxide (ZnO). By adding fullerene derivative (6,6-phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester/PCBM) to the hybrid solar cell, the performance of solar cell is predicted to be increased. We have studied the charge carrier motion in blend of P3HT:ZnO:PCBM using LF-μSR with and without light irradiation to clarify the charge carrier motion in bulk ternary system of hybrid material. We found that charge carrier motion in P3HT:ZnO:PCBM changes from intra-chain to inter-chain diffusion. One-dimensional intra-chain diffusion is observed in the sample at low temperature below 15 K, while three-dimensional inter-chain is observed at high temperature above 25 K.
