| الوصف: | Space charge effects can significantly degrade charge collection in organic photovoltaics (OPVs), especially in thick-film devices. The two main causes of space charge are doping and imbalanced transport. Although these are completely different phenomena, they lead to the same voltage dependence of the photocurrent, making them difficult to distinguish. In this work, a method is introduced how the build-up of space charge due to imbalanced transport can be monitored in a real operating organic solar cell. The method is based on the reconstruction of quantum efficiency spectra and requires only optical input parameters that are straightforward to measure. This makes it suitable for the screening of new OPV materials. Furthermore, numerical and analytical means are derived to predict the impact of imbalanced transport on the charge collection. It is shown that when charge recombination is sufficiently reduced, balanced transport is not a necessary condition for efficient thick-film OPVs.
