Abstract

The effect of illumination intensity and temperature on open circuit voltage (Voc) in organic photovoltaic devices has been investigated. Voc is observed to saturate at high illumination intensities. The illuminated J-V characteristics at different intensities intersect the dark characteristic at a single point. This intersection point is shown to be equal to the built-in voltage (Vbi) in the sample. A reduction in temperature shows increment in saturated Voc. This increment in saturated Voc is attributed to the variation of Vbi with temperature. A model has been presented that explains the observed behavior of Vbi at different temperatures.
