Generation of Charge Pairs

Caption

Illustration of the generation of charge pairs (excitons), the precursors of free charge carriers in the active layer of an organic solar cell. Free charge carriers then generate an electric voltage at the contacts of the cell. The lower image section shows a microscopic model of the organic thin film.
