p> The rate at which diffusion occurs depends on the velocity at which carriers move and on the distance between scattering events. It is termed diffusivity and is measured in cm 2 s -1. Values for silicon, the most used semiconductor material for solar cells, are given in the appendix.
The short-range diffusion length of organic semiconductors severely limits exciton harvesting and charge generation in organic bulk heterojunction solar cells. Here, the authors report exciton diffusion length in the range of 20 to 47 nm for a wide range of non-fullerene acceptors molecules.
In particular, enhanced exciton diffusion can improve light harvesting in solar cells that can be manufactured using water-based solutions of electron donor and acceptor nanoparticles or by sequential deposition of donor and acceptor, offering low-cost and environmentally friendly production.
In planar heterojunction solar cells the 1D diffusion length defines the thickness of the donor and acceptor layers to be used. To absorb the incident light efficiently in a bilayer, the combined donor and acceptor layer thicknesses should be around 100 nm.
Values for silicon, the most used semiconductor material for solar cells, are given in the appendix. Since raising the temperature will increase the thermal velocity of the carriers, diffusion occurs faster at higher temperatures. A single particle in a box will eventually be found at any random location in the box.
The optimized 1D diffusion length in OPV materials is ∼20 nm (Table 1) and limits the efficiency of solar cells made using a bilayer. Further increase in exciton transport distance is necessary to make bilayer technology attractive for solar cell applications, possibly by combining long LD with layer-to-layer FRET or energy cascade.
