Bimolecular charge carrier recombination is an efficiency limiting mechanism in organic solar cells. As this fundamental loss process is strongly related to the nanomorphology in blend films of electron donating and electron accepting materials, the study of this mechanism allows to draw conclusions about the impact of spatial (dis)order and phase separation on cell performance. The bimolecular recombination dynamics were investigated by nanosecond transient absorption spectroscopy. Measurements were carried out on blend films of polymers and fullerene derivatives in the temperature range from 30K to 300K. In order to distinguish between different excited species, different probe beam wavelengths were used. The decays were monitored on nanosecond to microsecond timescale and interpreted in terms of morphological as well as energetic trapping of charges.
