Device structure is ITO/Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxy-wthiophene)-poly(4-styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS)/PCDTBT:PCBM/C60MA/Al. Devices show the so-called S-shaped current-voltage curve that has been modeled with a circuit including two diodes in forward and reverse bias. Impedance measurements show one semicircle at low bias ( V <; 0.4 V) and two semicircles at ( V <; 0.4 V). Results reveal that the high-frequency semicircle is associated with the forward diode-like behavior of the dc circuit, while the low-frequency semicircle is associated with the reverse diode that causes the S-shape. The analytical solution of the dc two-diode circuital model has been fitted to the experimental I-V, and dc circuital parameters have been obtained. The ac equivalent circuit was derived from the dc circuit, and small-signal parameters have been calculated from the fits to the experimental Cole-Cole.enSolarzellen - Entwicklung und CharakterisierungFarbstoffOrganische und Neuartige Solarzellenorganische Solarzellespectroscopysolar cellsCircuital model validation for S-shaped organic solar cells by means of impedance spectroscopyjournal article
