Nonradiative recombination reduces the open-circuit voltage relative to its theoretical limit and leads to reduced luminescence emission at a given excitation. Therefore, it is possible to correlate changes in luminescence emission with changes in open-circuit voltage and in the charge carrier lifetime. Here we use luminescence studies combined with transient photovoltage and differential charging analyses to study the effect of polymer fractionation in indacenoedithiophene-co-benzothiadiazole (IDTBT) :fullerene solar cells. In this system, polymer fractionation increases electroluminescence emission at the same injection current and reduces nonradiative recombination. High-molecular-weight and fractionated IDTBT polymers exhibit higher carrier lifetime-mobility product compared to that of their nonfractionated analogues, resulting in improved solar cell performance.
