Anilino-Squaraines are stable dyes and are readily available via environmentally friendly condensation reactions. Organic solar cells whose active layer consists of a model squaraine donor blended with a fullerene acceptor are particularly interesting because they show absorption within the deep-red combined with a high Voc. However, these devices suffer from a low fill factor around 40%.
The purpose of this study is a deeper understanding of the performance of these organic solar cells via advanced EQE measurements. J-V-measurements show a linear dependence of Jsc and illumination intensity independent of the active layer thickness. However, white light biased EQE measurements suggest a sublinear intensity response which becomes more obvious for increasing active layer thickness. Furthermore, voltage-dependent EQE measurements hints to a saturation of photocurrent at higher reverse bias voltages.
