In this study, we analyse the working mechanism of single component small molecule acceptor Y6 solar cells with power conversion efficiencies reaching up to 4.5% and short circuit currents up to 8.4 mAcm-2.Using Hall effect, photo-Hall, and photoinduced absorption (PIA) measurements, we show that the charge photo-generation occurs in the bulk of Y6. With the aid of space charge limited current (SCLC) measurements we show that Y6 has an ambipolar charge carrier mobility. Our data shows that the limiting factor for the power conversion efficiency is fast charge recombination, which can be suppressed in presence of the transport layers, or modifying the morphology with a solvent additive.
