Abstract

We use transient photovoltage and differential charging experiments, complemented by transient absorption data, to determine charge carrier lifetimes and densities in a poly(3-hexylthiophene): methanofullerene solar cell at Voc as a function of white light-bias intensity. For a typical device, the charge carrier decay dynamics are observed to exhibit an approximately third order dependence on charge density (dndt n3). © 2008 American Institute of Physics.
