Abstract :
In order to obtain highly efficient organic thin-film photovoltaic cell, purity of organic material is an essential factor of solar cell parameters, because impurities in organic materials act as trapping sites of generated carriers. We investigated purification process of organic material based on cycle-sublimation techniques
