In order to improve the efficiency of electronic devices based on organic semiconducting materials the detailed knowledge about the exact position of the energy levels responsible for charge transport is crucial. The experimental determination is particularly complicated for bulk heterojunctions of p- and n-conducting materials in terms of sample preparation, film morphology and distinction of the different spectroscopic signatures. We investigated four promising materials for organic photovoltaic devices: the electron donor poly(3-hexylthiophene-2,5-diyl) (P3HT) and the three electron acceptors [6,6]-phenyl-C61 butyric acid methyl ester (PC60BM), its bisadduct analogue (bis- PC60BM) and [6,6]-phenyl-C71 butyric acid methyl ester (PC70BM). Thin films of pristine materials as well as bulk heterojuction samples of P3HT:PC60BM, P3HT:bis-PC60BM and P3HT:PC70BM were examined with respect to their valence levels using ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS).
