Theoretical Model to Relate Morphology to Device Efficiency
Abstract
We have developed a computationally efficient method for modelling PV device, based on a mesoscopic drift-diffusion model, in 3D microstructures. It includes the photoactive layer modelling which is based on numerically generated morphologies. Polymer blend microstructures are generated using the Cahn-Hilliard model. The combined morphology/device performance modelling are then explored in a systematic way.
