In order to study the losses of ZnO/organic hybrid photovoltaic devices a model system of ZnMgO and poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) is introduced. It allows tuning the interface band gap energy between the ZnMgO conduction band minimum and the P3HT HOMO systematically by varying the Mg content in the inorganic component. This enables a profound study of charge separation and recombination processes at the interface of inorganic/organic hybrid heterojunctions.

Prior to full charge separation electron and hole on opposite sides of the interface form hybrid charge transfer excitons (HCTX) bound by Coulomb interaction [1]. Electroluminescence measurements in the near IR spectral range confirm the existence of HCTX and yield valuable information of their physical properties. Temperature dependent photovoltaic measurements provide the necessary information to understand the charge separation process and its influence on the parameters defining the performance of a photovoltaic device. A detailed study of the interface energetics allows quantifying the recombination losses of inorganic/organic hybrid heterojunctions in order to fully exploit their potential in solar energy.
