We have recently reported about a new oligothiophene derivate featuring dicyanovinylene end groups that can be used as acceptor material in organic thin-film photovoltaic cells. The material DCV3T has a high absorption coefficient (alpha =2.5x10^5 1/cm^2 @540nm) absorbing light in a wide range. We prepared cells based on a flat heterojunction between DCV3T and 4P-TPD, a weekly donor-type amorphous material, embedded between ITO and a p-doped hole-transport layer. These cells reach an open-circuit-voltage of up to 1.04 V. Supported by optical simulations, we optimized the individual film thicknesses and improved the efficiency to 2.3 % at 100 mW/cm^2 simulated sunlight. The simulations also allow us to estimate the exciton-diffusion length in DCV3T. Moreover, we investigated the heterointerfaces comprised in the solar-cell structure by UPS and XPS measurements. These measurements give information about the HOMO-levels and possible interface dipoles.
