Non-fullerene acceptors (NFAs) are exciting molecules allowing high efficiency in organic photovoltaic (OPV) blends with conjugated polymers. Interestingly, charges can also be generated by neat NFA films without additional donor. To understand the origins of exciton dissociation in neat NFAs, we have looked at the impact of aggregation, external electric field and non-linear effects. We used solvatochromism in order to gain insight on charge redistribution after excitation in isolated NFAs. We found that unaggregated NFAs feature a more dipolar excited state, revealing intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) character. This ICT character, however, is not enough to generate separated charges. Aggregation is the key to exciton dissociation in neat NFAs, which we observe with TA of solutions and films of several different NFAs. To explore the impact of an electric field on exciton dissociation in neat NFA devices, we used bias-dependent external quantum efficiency (EQE) and transient absorption (TA) spectroscopy. Electromodulated differential absorption (EDA) measurements then allowed us to observe charge transport under bias. Excitation correlation spectroscopy and fluence-dependent TA finally revealed how non-linear effects can increase the charge yield. Lastly, we comment on whether the neat domain charge generation significantly affects the photophysics of blends or not.
nanoGe is a prestigious brand of successful science conferences that are developed along the year in different areas of the world since 2009. Our worldwide conferences cover cutting-edge materials topics like perovskite solar cells, photovoltaics, optoelectronics, solar fuel conversion, surface science, catalysis and two-dimensional materials, among many others.
Previously nanoGe Spring Meeting (NSM) and nanoGe Fall Meeting (NFM), MATSUS is a multiple symposia conference focused on a broad set of topics of advanced materials preparation, their fundamental properties, and their applications, in fields such as renewable energy, photovoltaics, lighting, semiconductor quantum dots, 2-D materials synthesis, charge carriers dynamics, microscopy and spectroscopy semiconductors fundamentals, etc.
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics (HOPV) is celebrated yearly in May. The main topics are the development, function and modeling of materials and devices for hybrid and organic solar cells. The field is now dominated by perovskite solar cells but also other hybrid technologies, as organic solar cells, quantum dot solar cells, and dye-sensitized solar cells and their integration into devices for photoelectrochemical solar fuel production.
Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics
The main topics of the Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics (IPEROP) are discussed every year in Asia-Pacific for gathering the recent advances in the fields of material preparation, modeling and fabrication of perovskite and hybrid and organic materials. Photovoltaic devices are analyzed from fundamental physics and materials properties to a broad set of applications. The conference also covers the developments of perovskite optoelectronics, including light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
The International Conference on Perovskite Thin Film Photovoltaics Perovskite Photonics and Optoelectronics (NIPHO) is the best place to hear the latest developments in perovskite solar cells as well as on recent advances in the fields of perovskite light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
