Intermolecular charge transfer (CT) states at the interface between electron-donating (D)
and electron-accepting (A) materials in organic thin films are characterized by absorption …

The performance of solar cells based on molecular electronic materials is limited by
relatively low open-circuit voltage (V oc) relative to the absorption threshold. These voltage …

Organic solar cells demonstrate external quantum efficiencies and fill factors approaching
those of conventional photovoltaic technologies. However, as compared with the optical gap …

Organic electronics are broadly anticipated to impact the development of flexible thin-film
device technologies. Among these, solution-processable π-conjugated polymers and small …

The performance of organic photovoltaic (OPV) material systems are hypothesized to
depend strongly on the intermolecular arrangements at the donor: fullerene interfaces. A …

Solution processed polymer/fullerene blend films are receiving extensive attention as the
photoactive layer of organic solar cells. In this paper we report a range of photophysical …

Charge transfer (CT) states at a donor–acceptor heterojunction have a key role in the charge
photogeneration process of organic solar cells, however, the mechanism by which these …

of the neat donor (ED*) and acceptor material (EA*). It has recently been shown that for an …

Significant improvement in the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of organic solar cells
(OSCs) is achieved by developing novel donor and acceptor materials, optimizing the phase …

In this Perspective, we review recent progress on the use of transient optoelectronic
techniques to quantify the processes determining the open-circuit voltage (V OC) of organic …
