A crucial factor for the efficiency in organic photovoltaic (OPV) cells made of small molecules is the exciton diffusion length of the absorbing material. Diindenoperylene (DIP) has shown to have an exciton diffusion length in the order of 100nm which can be attributed to its high crystallinity [Kurrle et al., APL 92(2008), 133306]. However, its use in OPV cells is limited by the weak absorption due to the disadvantageous orientation of the optical transition dipole.
In our study we examined OPV cells using DIP as donor material in combination with various acceptor molecules such as C60. By this combinative approach, the degree of crystallinity in DIP could be varied and the impact of the corresponding cell efficiencies will be discussed.
The properties of the respective organic-metal contacts will also be adressed.
