abstract = {Understanding the fill factor in organic solar cells
remains challenging due to its complex dependence on a
multitude of parameters. By means of drift-diffusion
simulations, we thoroughly analyze the fill factor of such
low-mobility systems and demonstrate its dependence on a
collection coefficient defined in this work. We
systematically discuss the effect of different recombination
mechanisms, space-charge regions, and contact properties.
Based on these findings, we are able to interpret the
thickness dependence of the fill factor for different
experimental studies from the literature. The presented
model provides a facile method to extract the photoactive
layer’s electronic quality which is of particular
importance for the fill factor. We illustrate that over the
past 15 years, the electronic quality has not been
continuously improved, although organic solar-cell
efficiencies increased steadily over the same period of
time. Only recent reports show the synthesis of polymers for
semiconducting films of high electronic quality that are
able to produce new efficiency records.},
