Differential resistance analysis has been shown to be effective at studying the charge carrier losses in bulk heterojunction solar cells. The variations of differential resistance with light intensity and V oc provide strong evidence for the identification of the recombination kinetics, revealing bimolecular as the dominating recombination mechanism in PCDTBT:PC 60 BM system and showing an evolution to trap‐assisted recombination in presence of PC 84 BM trap states.
