The power conversion efficiency of small molecule Organic Photovoltaic Cells (OPVCs) strongly depends on the exciton diffusion length as well as on the respective energy level positions at the donor acceptor and the metal-organic interface. We discuss two major aspects determining the OPVC performance: the exciton blocking and the exciton diffusion. As bilayer systems, OPVCs based on Diindenoperylen (DIP) as donor and C60 as acceptor material were employed. We analyse the influence of various exciton blocking layers (EBL) like Batho-Phenanthrolin (BPhen) or 1,4,5,8-Naphthalene-Tetracarboxylic Acid Dianhydride (NTCDA). Beside the position of the electronic levels the nucleation behavior of the metal contact on the EBL is a critical factor. The second part addresses the comparatively large exciton diffusion lengths in DIP of about 100nm [1]. We performed complementary studies on OPVC photocurrent as well as on photoluminescence (PL)-quenching on layered stacks of similar composition. A strong correlation between the exciton transport characteristics and the crystalline morphology of the DIP layer is demonstrated. Financial support by DFG (project PF385/4) is gratefully acknowledged.
