  abstract  = {Open-circuit voltages of lead-halide perovskite solar cells are improving rapidly and are approaching the thermodynamic limit. Since many different perovskite compositions with different bandgap energies are actively being investigated, it is not straightforward to compare the open-circuit voltages between these devices as long as a consistent method of referencing is missing. For the purpose of comparing open-circuit voltages and identifying outstanding values, it is imperative to use a unique, generally accepted way of calculating the thermodynamic limit, which is currently not the case. Here a meta-analysis of methods to determine the bandgap and a radiative limit for open-circuit voltage is presented. The differences between the methods are analyzed and an easily applicable approach based on the solar cell quantum efficiency as a general reference is proposed.},

  abstract  = {Die heutige optische Informationsverarbeitung erfordert neue Materialien, die Licht effektiv verarbeiten, steuern und speichern k{\"o}nnen. Photorefraktive (PR) Materialien sind daf{\"u}r sehr interessant. In diesen Materialien entsteht bei inhomogener Beleuchtung (z.B. mit einem Intererenzmuster) {\"u}ber Ladungstr{\"a}gergenerierung und Einfang der Ladungstr{\"a}ger in Fallen ein Raumladungsfeld. Dieses wird {\"u}ber den elektrooptischen Effekt in eine r{\"a}umliche Modulation des Brechungsindex umgesetzt. Letztendlich f{\"u}hrt somit die inhomogene Beleuchtung eines PR-Materials zu einer r{\"a}umlich variierenden {\"A}nderung des Brechungsindex. Vor ca. 10 Jahren wurde entdeckt, dass auch Polymere einen PR-Effekt aufweisen k{\"o}nnen. Die Ansprechzeit dieser Materialien wird dabei wesentlich durch die Dynamik der Ladungstr{\"a}ger (bestimmt durch Erzeugung, Transport, Einfang in Fallen etc.) begrenzt. Bis zu Beginn dieser Arbeit war es noch nicht gelungen, einen quantitativen Zusammenhang zwischen der Ladungstr{\"a}gerdynamik und der Ansprechzeit des PR-Effekts experimentell nachzuweisen. In dieser Arbeit wird ein Weg aufgezeigt, durch photophysikalische Experimente unter verschiedenen Beleuchtungsbedingungen alle photophysikalischen Gr{\"o}ßen experimentell zu bestimmen, die den Aufbau des Raumladungsfelds in organischen photorefraktiven Materialien bestimmen. So konnte durch Experimente unter Beleuchtung mit kurzen Einzelpulsen sowohl die Beweglichkeit der freien Ladungstr{\"a}ger als auch die charakteristischen Parameter flacher Fallen ermittelt werden. Zur Bestimmung der Dichte tiefer Fallen wurde die Intensit{\"a}tsabh{\"a}ngigkeit des station{\"a}ren Photostroms untersucht. Durch die analytische L{\"o}sung des bestimmenden Gleichungssystems konnte gezeigt werden, dass die Sublinearit{\"a}t der Intensit{\"a}tsabh{\"a}ngigkeit des Photostroms prim{\"a}r mit dem Verh{\"a}ltnis zwischen Entleerungs- und Einfangkoeffizienten tiefer Fallen korreliert. Zur unabh{\"a}ngigen Bestimmung des Entleerungskoeffizienten der tiefen Fallen wurden Doppelpulsexperimente mit variabler Verz{\"o}gerungszeit zwischen den Pulsen verwendet. Mit den erhaltenen Parametern konnte dann das untere Limit der zum Aufbau des Raumladungsfelds notwendigen Zeit abgesch{\"a}tzt werden. Diese Werte wurden mit den gemessenen photorefraktiven Ansprechzeiten verglichen. Es zeigt sich, dass weder die Photogeneration noch der Transport der Ladungstr{\"a}ger die Geschwindigkeit des Aufbaus des Raumladungsfeldes limitiert. Stattdessen konnte erstmals quantitativ nachgewiesen werden, dass die Dynamik des Raumladungsfelds in den hier untersuchten PR-Materialien durch das F{\"u}llen tiefer Fallen mit photogenerierten Ladungstr{\"a}gern bestimmt wird. Dabei spielt das Verh{\"a}ltnis zwischen dem Einfang- und dem Rekombinationskoeffizienten eine wesentliche Rolle. Weiterhin wurde die Dynamik des Aufbaus des Raumladungsfelds bei unterschiedlichen Vorbeleuchtungsbedingungen quantitativ simuliert und mit den experimentellen PR-Transienten verglichen. Die gute {\"U}bereinstimmung zwischen den simulierten und gemessenen Transienten erlaubte es abschließend, die kritischen Parameter, die die Dynamik des PR-Effekts in den untersuchten Polymeren begrenzen, zu identifizieren.},

  abstract  = {Doped spiro-OMeTAD at present is the most commonly used hole transport material (HTM) in n-i-p-type perovskite solar cells, enabling high efficiencies around 22\%. However, the required dopants were shown to induce nonradiative recombination of charge carriers and foster degradation of the solar cell. Here, in a novel approach, highly conductive and inexpensive water-free poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) is used to replace these dopants. The resulting spiro-OMeTAD/PEDOT (SpiDOT) mixed films achieve higher lateral conductivities than layers of doped spiro-OMeTAD. Furthermore, combined transient and steady-state photoluminescence studies reveal a passivating effect of PEDOT, suppressing nonradiative recombination losses at the perovskite/HTM interface. This enables excellent quasi-Fermi level splitting values of up to 1.24 eV in perovskite/SpiDOT layer stacks and high open-circuit voltages (V-OC) up to 1.19 V in complete solar cells. Increasing the amount of dopant-free spiro-OMeTAD in SpiDOT layers is shown to enhance hole extraction and thereby improves the fill factor in solar cells. As a consequence, stabilized efficiencies up to 18.7\% are realized, exceeding cells with doped spiro-OMeTAD as a HTM in this study. Moreover, to the best of our knowledge, these results mark the lowest nonradiative recombination loss in the V-OC (140 mV with respect to the Shockley-Queisser limit) and highest efficiency reported so far for perovskite solar cells using PEDOT as a HTM.},

  abstract  = {Organic bulk heterojunction (BHJ) solar cells require energetic offsets between the donor and acceptor to obtain high short-circuit currents (J(SC)) and fill factors (FF). However, it is necessary to reduce the energetic offsets to achieve high open-circuit voltages (V-OC). Recently, reports have highlighted BHJ blends that are pushing at the accepted limits of energetic offsets necessary for high efficiency. Unfortunately, most of these BHJs have modest FF values. How the energetic offset impacts the solar cell characteristics thus remains poorly understood. Here, a comprehensive characterization of the losses in a polymer:fullerene BHJ blend, PIPCP:phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PC61BM), that achieves a high V-OC (0.9 V) with very low energy losses (E-loss = 0.52 eV) from the energy of absorbed photons, a respectable J(SC) (13 mA cm(-2)), but a limited FF (54\%) is reported. Despite the low energetic offset, the system does not suffer from field-dependent generation and instead it is characterized by very fast nongeminate recombination and the presence of shallow traps. The charge-carrier losses are attributed to suboptimal morphology due to high miscibility between PIPCP and PC61BM. These results hold promise that given the appropriate morphology, the J(SC), V-OC, and FF can all be improved, even with very low energetic offsets.},
