31 Investigating recombination losses Light intensity dependence (charge concentration) of R: R=kn order by transient photovoltage (TPV) and charge extraction (CE) measuerements at varying light intensity. TPV CE OC Voc +ΔVoc R=1/τ n CE τ n CE
32 Investigating recombination losses Light intensity dependence (charge concentration) of R: R=kn order order >2 experimentally?!? Geminate: bound hole/electron nexc order= 1 Langevin classic: free carriers holes/electrons (no disorder): nh, ne order=2 Trap-mediated: Trap states occupation (trap population) poorly dependent on charge concentration: nf Deep traps order =1 trapped population free carrier population (nf) Shallow traps (tail of the DOS) Trap states occupation dependent on charge concentration: nt=concentration of trapped hole(electrons) nt nf order =2
33 Investigating recombination losses If both carriers are trapped in the exponential tail, the recombination event will require at least one of them to be detrapped and become free but this is concentration dependent!

34 To the electrodes... Collection at the electrodes Non-blocking contacts are required GENERAL REQUIREMENT: It s all about choosing suitable metals but... the choice of the metal contacts is driven by other requirements: leakage current, built-in electric field, availability and cost, stability, life at metal/semiconductor interface is far more complicated...
