Abstract

Neutron scattering techniques provide unique insights into the active layer morphology of organic solar cells. The nanoscale morphology, the thin film vertical composition, and the intermixing on a molecular level, which all strongly have an impact on the performance of organic solar cells, can be probed with neutrons. In addition to the static structure, also fast dynamics occurring in the active material is accessible with neutrons. This perspective letter highlights the power of grazing incidence small angle neutron scattering and quasi-elastic neutron scattering experiments after shortly introducing into the working principle of organic solar cells.
