Linking morphology and performance in nanostructured organic and hybrid solar cells

Alison Walker, Department of Physics, University of Bath, UK

I will show how the kinetic Monte Carlo technique I have developed has been used to model organic solar cell current-voltage-illumination characteristics for rod, blend and gyroid morphologies. I will also describe electrical transport modelling of dye-sensitized cells, DSC (electrolyte and solid state), and for water splitting. In this case I have shown how to predict impedance measurements from a drift diffusion model, looked at coupled electron-ion transport in dye-sensitized cells, and generalized these models to look at water-splitting cells using mesoporous electrodes.
