A method for determination of the bimolecular recombination constant in working double-injection diodes such as organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and organic photovoltaics (OPVs) using impedance spectroscopy is proposed. The proposed method is based on the theory that was developed to interpret the negative capacitance that has previously been observed in both OLEDs and OPVs. The determination of the bimolecular recombination constants is demonstrated using working polymer light-emitting diodes based on poly(9,9-dioctylfluorene-alt-benzothiadiazole). These impedance spectroscopy measurements thus allow us to determine the required bimolecular recombination coefficients along with the electron and hole drift mobilities in working organic double-injection diodes.
