We address the claim that the dependence of the corrected photocurrent (defined as the difference between the light and dark currents) upon light intensity can be used to determine the charge recombination mechanism in an organic solar cell. We analyze a poly(3-hexylthiophene):[6,6]-phenyl C61-butyric acid methyl ester (P3HT:PCBM) device using corrected photocurrent and transient photovoltage experiments and show that whereas the corrected photocurrent is linear in light intensity the charge recombination rate scales superlinearly with charge carrier density. We explain this apparent discrepancy by measuring the charge carrier densities at different applied voltages and light intensities. We show that it is only safe to infer a linear recombination mechanism from a linear dependence of corrected photocurrent on light intensity under the following special conditions: (i) the photogenerated charge carrier density is much larger than the dark carrier density and (ii) the photogenerated carrier density is proportional to the photogeneration rate.
