Review and Evaluation of Work Performed on Organic Semiconductor Solar Cells.

Abstract

The report reviews experimental and theoretical studies related to the photovoltaic effect in organic semiconductors. Processes relevant to the operation and performance of organic solar cells are outlined and discussed in the context of a block diagram type model of an organic photovoltaic device. A detailed discussion of the impact of photon absorption and carrier generation processes on the ultimate performance of solar cells using organic semiconductor materials is presented. (Author)
