摘要
External-biased potential distributions of a polymer bulk-heterojunction (BHJ) solar cell, incorporated with electron/hole transporting layers, were directly obseved through a cross-sectional Kelvin probe force microscopy. The bulk electric field of BHJ was found to be nearly field-free even under reverse biases, and the field-free region was probed to expand with the incorporation of TiOx electron transporting layer; as a result, inducing a decrease of quasi-Fermi level splitting region in obtaining a high fill factor in the TiOx-interlayered junction photodiodes.
