The recombination resistance is obtained in P3HT/TiO 2 nanorod devices by impedance spectroscopy. Surface morphology and phase separation of the bulk heterojunction are characterized by atomic force microscopy (AFM). The surface charge of bulk heterojunction is investigated by Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM). Lower charge recombination rate and lifetime have been observed for the charge carriers in appropriate heterostructures of hybrid P3HT/TiO 2 nanorod processed via high boiling point solvent and made of high molecular weight P3HT. Additionally, through surface modification on TiO 2 nan,orod, decreased recombination rate and longer charge carrier lifetime are obtained owing to creation of a barrier between the donor phases (P3HT) and the acceptor phases (TiO 2). The effect of the film morphology of hybrid and interfacial properties on charge carrier recombination finally leads to different outcome of photovoltaic I-V characteristics. The BHJ fabricated from dye-modified TiO 2 blended with P3HT exhibits 2.6 times increase in power conversion efficiency due to the decrease of recombination rate by almost 2 orders of magnitude as compared with the BHJ made with unmodified TiO 2. In addition, the interface heterostructure, charge lifetime, and device efficiency of P3HT/TiO 2 nanorod solar cells are correlated. © 2011 American Chemical Society. |
