In organic photovoltaic cells (OPVCs) typically two organic materials with electron- acceptor and donor character are sandwiched between anode and cathode, forming either layered planar (PHJ) or bulk heterojunctions (BHJ), where charge separation occurs. We report on ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS) measurements on PHJ and BHJ of the donor diindenoperylene (DIP) and the acceptor C60. The results on energy level alignment at these heterojunctions are then discussed in comparison to the energy conversion efficiency achieved in corresponding OPVCs, which peaked at 4.1%. The offset between the highest occupied molecular orbital of DIP and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital of C60, an estimate for the maximum achievable open circuit voltage, is 1.3 eV and 1.35 eV for the PHJ and BHJ, respectively. For comparison, OPVCs exhibited open circuit voltages up to 0.93 V. Our results demonstrate close agreement between the donor/acceptor energy level alignment and the open circuit voltage in devices and that induced carriers at contacts are beneficial for the energy conversion efficiency of OPVCs.
