Long‐Range Charge Carrier Transport in Planar Polymer Bulk‐Heterojunction Photovoltaic Cells
Bibliographic record
Abstract
One‐dimensional scanning optical beam‐induced current (OBIC) measurements have been carried out on polymer bulk heterojunction (BHJ) photovoltaic cells with a planar, or lateral configuration. The planar P3HT:PCBM cells have parallel aluminum or gold electrodes that are 390 to 560 micrometers apart. When a focused laser beam is scanned across the electrode gap, photocurrent or photovoltage is recorded as a function of beam position along with the transmission of the excitation beam. Despite the large electrode gap size, cells with symmetric Al/Al electrodes exhibit significant photocurrent and photovoltage which are the highest at the electrode interfaces and null at the cell center. The OBIC in these large planar polymer BHJ cells is attributed to the metal/BHJ blend Schottky junction. The larger Schottky barrier of the Al/BHJ junction gives rise to a stronger OBIC response than the Au/BHJ junction. The photocurrent and photovoltage always have opposite signs and are antisymmetric about the cell center. In asymmetric Al/Au cells, the electrode work function difference contributes an additional built‐in field/potential drop and significantly modifies the photocurrent and photovoltage profiles. The depletion width of the Al/BHJ Schottky junction is 110–120 μm, while the minority electron diffusion length is determined to be 43.8 μm.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
