This book covers in a textbook-like fashion the basics or organic
solar cells, addressing the limits of photovoltaic energy
conversion and giving a well-illustrated introduction to molecular
electronics with focus on the working principle and
characterization of organic solar cells. Further chapters based on
the author's dissertation focus on the electrical processes in
organic solar cells by presenting a detailed drift-diffusion
approach to describe exciton separation and charge-carrier
transport and extraction. The results, although elaborated on
small-molecule solar cells and with focus on the zinc
phthalocyanine: C60 material system, are of general nature. They
propose and demonstrate experimental approaches for getting a
deeper understanding of the dominating processes in amorphous
thin-film based solar cells in general. The main focus is on the
interpretation of the current-voltage characteristics (J-V curve).
This very standard measurement technique for a solar cell reflects
the electrical processes in the device. Comparing experimental to
simulation data, the author discusses the reasons for S-Shaped J-V
curves, the role of charge carrier mobilities and energy barriers
at interfaces, the dominating recombination mechanisms, the charge
carrier generation profile, and other efficiency-limiting processes
in organic solar cells. The book concludes with an illustrative
guideline on how to identify reasons for changes in the J-V curve.
This book is a suitable introduction for students in engineering,
physics, material science, and chemistry starting in the field of
organic or hybrid thin-film photovoltaics. It is just as valuable
for professionals and experimentalists who analyze solar cell
devices.
