| Abstract: | In the present work, we demonstrate that graded bilayer solar cells provide a very interesting alternative to the bulk heterojunction active layers commonly used in organic photovoltaic cells. One of the main advantages of this type of active layers is the possibility to optimize independently both donor and acceptor layers. Using various process methods, we obtain active layers that demonstrate a donor-acceptor vertical concentration gradient. These devices exhibit not only a high fill factor but also a remarkable increase in open-circuit voltage (V_<oc>). In order to understand the influence of the film morphology over the device parameters, we provide a complete study using energy-dispersive X-Ray spectroscopy elemental mapping of the device cross-sections which shows evidence that ideal donor-acceptor concentration gradient are required to obtain high fill factors. Furthermore, we use a simple equivalent electrical model to extrapolate device parameters such as reverse saturation current for a clearer understanding of the origin of the V_<oc> increase. |
