Intrachain Delocalization Effect of Charge Carriers on the Charge-Transfer State Dynamics in Organic Solar Cells

We studied the charge-generation mechanism in low-bandgap polymer (P4TNTz-2F)-fullerene bulk heterojunction (BHJ) organic solar cells (OSCs) using transient absorption (TA) spectroscopy. The highly crystalline nanowire structure of P4TNTz-2F in a blend film prepared with chlorobenzene (CB) and 1,8-diiodooctane (DIO) induced more long-lived charge carriers than those in a blend film prepared with CB only. Pump-wavelength-dependent TA data revealed that the increased charge-delocalization by the intrachain ordering of P4TNTz-2F in the blend film prepared with CB/DIO is the key factor to increasing the OSC efficiency. The intrachain charge-delocalization increased the charge-transfer (CT) state lifetime and suppressed geminate recombination losses, resulting in the efficient dissociation of CT states into free carriers. Our findings provide new insights into the excited-state dynamics study of BHJ blends, which can serve as a good guide for the development of novel OSC materials.
