Lumped-Parameter Equivalent Circuit Model for S-Shaped Current–Voltage Characteristics of Organic Solar Cells

AbstractWe report on the photovoltaic properties of efficient multilayer devices based on pentacene thin films as a function of light intensity. Light-induced effects are characterized by the refined equivalent circuit model which incorporates an additional shunt resistance and an additional diode whose properties are function of the light intensity. Relative effects of these intensity-dependent parameters as well as the route to further optimization are discussed.

Before And After

We proposed a modified 3-diode equivalent circuit model with an inverted diode for the analysis of the characteristics of bulk hetero junction organic solar cells before and after heat treatment with the reverse bias of -8 V. The dark current density-voltage (J-V) characteristics of the bulk hetero junction organic solar cells before and after heat treatment were measured. From dark J-V characteristics of each organic solar cell, fitting of J-V curve between measured and calculated date was carried out using a modified 3-diode equivalent circuit model with an inverted diode. Using extracted diode parameters, the performances of the bulk hetero junction organic solar cells were compared and evaluated. The measured and calculated J-V characteristics of the bulk hetero junction organic solar cell agreed well, and the organic solar cells were able to be evaluated using the proposed method.
