Optimum mobility, contact properties, and open-circuit voltage of organic solar cells: A drift-diffusion simulation study
- Abstract:
-
We investigate the role charge carrier mobility plays for loss mechanisms in organic bulk heterojunction solar cells. For this purpose, we perform drift-diffusion calculations for several recombination models and properties of the contacts. We show that in case of selective contacts, higher mobilities increase device efficiency, independent of injection barrier heights, energy level bending at the contacts, and the amount of background dark carriers in the device. Nonselective contacts provid...
