Correlating the scattered intensities of P3HT and PCBM to the current densities of polymer solar cells

Abstract

Grazing-incidence X-ray diffraction and rocking scans have quantified the structure of poly(3-hexylthiophene) and [6,6]-phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester in the active layers of organic solar cells. Our study reveals that the device JSC correlates with the local structural development of pure PCBM and, to second order, the extent of out-of-plane P3HT π-stacking.
