Transient absorption spectroscopy of charge photogeneration yields and lifetimes in a low bandgap polymer/fullerene film.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Charge photogeneration yields and energetics are determined for a low band gap co-polymer, PCPDTBT blended with PC(70)BM; the increase in charge photogeneration with dithiol is correlated with an increase in the free energy of charge separation.

Ultrafast Transient Spectroscopy of Polymer/Fullerene Blends for Organic Photovoltaic Applications
We measured the picoseconds (ps) transient dynamics of photoexcitations in blends of regio-regular poly(3-hexyl-thiophene) (RR-P3HT) (donors-D) and fullerene (PCBM) (acceptor-A) in an unprecedented broad spectral range of 0.25 to 2.5 eV. In D-A blends with maximum domain separation, such as RR-P3HT/PCBM, with (1.2:1) weight ratio having solar cell power conversion efficiency of ~4%, we found th...
متن کاملDirect observation of sub-100 fs mobile charge generation in a polymer-fullerene film.
The formation of mobile charges in a roll-to-roll processed poly-3-hexylthiophene-fullerene bulk heterojunction film is observed directly by using transient terahertz spectroscopy with sub-100 fs temporal resolution. The transient terahertz ac conductivity reveals that 20% of the incident pump photons are converted into highly delocalized charges within the 40 fs, 3.1 eV pump pulse duration, wh...

متن کاملUltrafast Relaxation of the Poly(3-hexylthiophene) Emission Spectrum
The optoelectronic properties of conjugated polymers combined with “plastic” mechanical behavior and solution processability make them highly interesting materials with applications in organic electronics. 5 In bulk heterojunction (BHJ) solar cells, an electron-donating conjugated polymer is blended with a fullerene electron acceptor, such as [6,6]-phenyl C60 butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM). 1...
متن کاملRoughening Conjugated Polymer Surface for Enhancing the Charge Collection Efficiency of Sequentially Deposited Polymer/Fullerene Photovoltaics
A method that enables the formation of a rough nano-scale surface for conjugated polymers is developed through the utilization of a polymer chain ordering agent (OA). 1-Chloronaphthalene (1-CN) is used as the OA for the poly(3-hexylthiophene-2,5-diyl) (P3HT) layer. The addition of 1-CN to the P3HT solution improves the chain ordering of the P3HT during the film formation process and increases t...
