Organic solar cells (OSC) with C₇₀ and C₈₀ fullerenes show a higher open circuit voltage (Voc) than the standard [6,6]-phenyl-C[61]-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM):poly-3-hexylthiophene (P3HT) bulkheterojunction cells. Devices containing the trimetallic nitride endohedral fullerene Lu₃:N@C₈₀ showed a Voc of 910mV compared to 600mV with C₆₀-PCBM. Still the overall efficiency of these cells remain below the performance of our C₆₀-PCBM:P3HT reference cells. We address the origin of the lower efficiency by means of optical, magnetic and current measurement techniques. In samples containing Lu₃:N@C₈₀ we found photoluminescence quenching 3.2 times weaker, triplet yield higher and short-cut current about 2mA/cm² lower than in cells with C₆₀-PCBM as acceptor. We conclude that less efficient charge carrier generation in the Lu₃:N@C₈₀:P3HT bulkheterojunction system is the reason for the lower photocurrent.
