摘要
We have developed a model to predict and analyze the photocurrent generation and resulting charge carrier Dissociation and Collection Efficiency (DCE) through reflectivity and quantum efficiency spectra. The DCE is regarded as a function of the morphology and exciton transport properties of the bulk heterojunction and is therefore a way to investigate the final properties of photoactive layer in a solar cell. Method proposed allows determination of the efficiency at which photogenerated excitons are dissociated in a working device with respect to the position in the cell at which the generation occurs. The method is tested on our results as well as on a number of results already present in the literature. (C) 2014 AIP Publishing LLC.
