Modelling Temperature-Dependent Current-Voltage Curves of Organic Photovoltaic Devices — •Simon Züfle, Martin T. Neukom, Benjamin Perucco, Nils A. Reinke, and Beat Ruhstaller — ICP, ZHAW, Winterthur, Schweiz

Current-voltage curves allow to determine both fill-factor and efficiency of organic photovoltaic devices and are therefore a commonly used characterisation technique. Since analytical models for current-voltage curves fail in describing the fundamental processes of photogenerated current, more complex numerical calculations are mandatory for obtaining insight into the device physics. The analysis of multiple current-voltage curves at different temperatures calls for CPU-efficient algorithms combining state-of-the-art physical models and high calculation speed.

In order to model current-voltage curves simple drift-diffusion calculations with constant mobilities and thermionic emission as injection model are frequently used. In this study we investigate current-voltage curves measured at different temperatures with the help of a nonlinear least-square fitting algorithm in combination with a comprehensive physical model for charge carrier transport and injection. We evaluate the performance of different models for charge carrier transport, including the Gaussian Disorder Model, by simultaneously fitting multiple curves and discussing the mathematical quality of the fit. We employ an efficient algorithm for extracting material-specific parameters that allows modelling of measured current-voltage curves on a minute time-frame with a desktop PC.
