Major steps of the working process of all solar cells Efficiency - Stability - Synthesis Absorb photon Create charge Collect charge Sunlight Acceptor Donor Anode Cathode Schematic of solar cell working process

Efficiency - Stability - Synthesis Step1: Absorption Factors: Intensity at the active layer concentrating devices decreasing surface reflection Band structure of the material

Absorption Spectrum: Photoelectric effect for λ > λ max, photon passes through for λ < λ max, Excessive energy is wasted in the form of heat. Absorption spectrum of P3HT:PCBM blends: Efficiency - Stability - Synthesis Step1: Absorption Cook et al. J. Phys. Chem. C, Vol. 113, No. 6, 2009

Efficiency - Stability - Synthesis Step1: Absorption Spectrum: Difference from inorganic solar cell materials Band gap width: Si: organics: higher absorption at UV Adjustable Chapin et al. J.Appl.Phys.25 (1954) pp. 676 Cook et al. J. Phys. Chem. C, Vol. 113, No. 6, 2009

Efficiency - Stability - Synthesis Step2: Charge generation Exciton creation: Electron and hole are paired via (screened) Coulomb interaction Binding energy of excitons A very high separation rate: which is not good.
