Abstract:
Photoconductive atomic force microscopy in conjunction with transient absorption spectroscopy and charge transport study were used to investigate the effect of impurities (TCNQ and PC84 BM) on the performance of low band gap conjugated polymer and fullerene solar cells to gain insight into whether differing impurity shapes may lead to different loss mechanisms.
