Charge carrier mobility, polymer solar cell

In the previous section on the short-circuit current, it was demonstrated theoretically and experimentally that Isc in conjugated polymer-fullerene solar cells is controlled to a considerable extent by mobility of the majority charge carriers in the cell s active layer [158]. Moreover, activated behavior of charge carrier mobility in conjugated polymers is known to result in higher mobility at higher temperatures (for a review, see [159]). Accordingly,... 

It can be concluded that the nanofibers provide many advantages in hybrid solar cell applications, including low cost, high charge-carrier mobility, good chemical and mechanical stabilities, and easy control of size and shape [62]. Electrospinning seems to be a simple method to control the porosity and thickness of fiber networks, which can assist complete infiltration of polymers into the networks. Last but not...
