In the last few years the use of X-ray for investigation of morphological structure of polymeric thin films in photovoltaic has increased. It is a suitable method to investigate morphological changes in the polymer film. So far mostly hard x-ray around 10 keV are used to probe the samples. The disadvantage of using hard x-rays when looking at polymers is that the scattering contrast is low and therefore they are difficult to distinguish from each other.
Another approach that is pursued in this work is choosing x-ray energies that are near absorption edges of certain elements. Using x-rays at absorption edges enables a much higher contrast between the different materials, increasing the distinguishability of the different components within the active film of the organic solar cell. In combination with grazing incident small angle scattering (GISAXS), the use of resonant x-rays at the absorption edge, offers a sophisticated way to investigate morphological changes of the polymer blend, making it a promising method for future use.
