Charge transfer and charge separation dynamics in efficient non-fullerene solar cells

Recently, Non-fullerene organic solar cells (OSCs) has been making rapid progress and reaching record breaking efficiency [1]. In the conventional idea for the fullerene based OSCs, one need a large donor-acceptor (D/A) offsets to cause rapid (i.e., <1ps) and effective charge separation from exci...

description Recently, Non-fullerene organic solar cells (OSCs) has been making rapid progress and reaching record breaking efficiency [1]. In the conventional idea for the fullerene based OSCs, one need a large donor-acceptor (D/A) offsets to cause rapid (i.e., <1ps) and effective charge separation from exciton at the D/A heterojunction [2]. However, recent work showed that non-fullerene OSC with small D/A offset can also achieved very high power conversion efficiency (PCE) [1,3-4]. The explanation for this is that charge separation occurs over hundreds of ps from thermalized charge transfer exciton (CTEs) at the D/A heterojunction for the non-fullerene system [5], thus charge separation in efficient non-fullerene OSC with small D/A offset is an endothermic process. Here we will present our recent transient absorption (TA) spectroscopy studies to further elucidate the temperature dependence of charge transfer and charge separation dynamics in a number of non-fullerene OSC model systems with negligible D/A LUMO offset but variable HOMO offsets.
