Photophysical properties of novel small acceptor molecules and their application in hybrid small-molecular/polymeric organic solar cellsSahika Inal1, •Mauro Castellani1, Alan Sellinger2, and Dieter Neher11Universität Potsdam, Institut für Physik und Astronomie, 14476 Potsdam-Golm — 2Institute of Materials Research & Engineering, Singapore 117602

Recent experimental investigations revealed that the photovoltaic properties of our devices are related to the balance between recombination and field-induced dissociation of interfacial excited states such as exciplexes or geminate polaron pairs. This balance was shown to be affected by the nanomorphology at the heterojunction [J. Phys. Chem. C 2008, 112, 14607]. We have analyzed the photophysical properties of a new materials couple comprising an electron-donating PPV copolymer and a vinazene-based small molecule acceptor [Chem. Mater. 2007, 19, 1892]. Steady state and time-resolved photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy in solution and in the solid state showed the formation of excimers within the acceptor. The associated long-range diffusion promise efficient energy harvesting at the heterojunction. On the other hand, blends of the PPV-derivative and the small molecule revealed strong exciplex formation. Therefore, bilayered hybrid small-molecular/polymeric solar cells have been fabricated by consequently spin-coating the macromolecular donor and the small molecule acceptor from two different solvents. The bilayer architecture limits recombination processes enabling high FFs of around 44% and a technologically important open circuit voltage of 1Volt.
