We have investigated organic thin-film solar cells from the microscopic viewpoint with light-induced electron spin resonance (ESR). The utilized cell structures are indium--tin oxide (ITO)/poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS)/regioregular poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT):[6,6]-phenyl C61-butyric acid methylester (PCBM)/Pd/LiF/Al. We performed simultaneous measurements of light-induced ESR and device characteristics using the same device. Under simulated solar irradiation, the light-induced ESR intensity of a solar cell increases, while the short-circuit current and open-circuit voltage of the cell concomitantly decrease with increasing duration of irradiation. We have successfully observed a clear correlation between the light-induced ESR intensity and the device characteristics. Trapping sites of photogenerated hole carriers (positive polarons) are ascribed to P3HT by the analysis of the ESR signals.
