Increasing the power conversion efficiency of bulk heterojunction polymer/fullerene solar cells is the aim of numerous research groups for several years. In particular, the efficiency is limited due to low charge carrier mobilities µ and lifetimes τ. In order to improve the efficiency, the product µτ needs to be increased. In our work, the hole mobility and lifetime in poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) / [6,6]phenyl-C61-butric acid methyl ester (PCBM) solar cells were determined by photoinduced absorption (PIA) spectroscopy. The hole lifetime was determined from the frequency dependence of the PIA - signal. The out-of-plane hole mobility was deduced from the dependence of the hole lifetime on the applied voltage. The influence of annealing temperature on these parameters was investigated.
