The identification of recombination centers in organic solar cells

Street R.A., Krakaris A., PARC, a Xerox company, US

To achieve high efficiency bulk heterojunction organic solar cells, it is necessary to identify and minimize the recombination centers that limit the performance. There is growing evidence that the dominant recombination is through trap states [...]

Surface plasmon polariton assisted organic solar cells

Kim C., Kim J., Lee J-Y, Peumans P., Kim C., Kim J., Duke University, US

A fundamental limitation of organic photovoltaic (OPV) cells is due to the trade-off between light absorption and exciton diffusion. We show that light absorption in an OPV cell can be enhanced by replacing a conventional [...]
