Correlation of Degradation of P3HT:PCBM And P3HT:ITIC Organic Solar Cells with Changes of their Optical Spectra

  • Published:
Journal of Applied Spectroscopy Aims and scope

Absorption and photoluminescence spectra of organic solar cells based on P3HT:PCBM and P3HT:ITIC are studied with simultaneous monitoring of the photovoltaic parameters. Characteristic changes of the optical properties of these devices that are related to their performance are explored. A direct correlation is established between the changes in the photovoltaic parameters and the absorption and photoluminescence spectra over time.
