Abstract

Trap-assisted recombination is one of the main loss mechanisms in bulk-heterojunction (BHJ) solar cells. Results suggest that introducing a near infrared (NIR) polymer into the 2,3-bis(3-(octyloxy)phenyl)quinoxaline (PIDTTQ):[6,6]-phenyl C butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) host system suppresses trap-assisted recombination in the binary blend, leading to a significant improvement of ≈60% in power conversion efficiency for ternary organic solar cells at low light intensity.
