Recently, organic solar cells with a power-efficiency of more than 2.5% have been developed. Such devices utilize the photoinduced electron transfer in a composite system comprising a conjugated PPV-type polymer and a functionalized C₆₀ (PCBM). After dissociation of the neutral photoexcitation a spatially separated electron-hole pair (polaron pair) is formed. Depending on the distance of the charges and the electric field the pair will either recombine geminately or fully dissociate. Only the latter process contributes to the photovoltaic response. Using a femtosecond photocurrent correlation technique, we time-resolve the generation of polaron pairs and their recombination dynamics. The experiments are performed on two different conjugated polymer/PCBM samples, MeLPPP/PCBM and MDMOPPV/PCBM. The comparison of the experimental data allows to clarify the role of geminate recombination of polaron pairs and its effect on the performance of organic solar cells and photodetectors.
