“…1b shows the absorption and PL spectra of a drop-casted LBPP-1 film on glass (black lines). There is an absorption maximum at 954 nm, similar to the values reported previously [8], while the emission maximum is lying at 1140 nm. Both spectra are featureless, with the emission spectrum red shifted by 186 nm.…”

On the basis of optimized structures of two kinds thiophene oligomers, we investigated the configuration and conformation dependent optical and electronic properties of a or b substituted oligothiophene (PT) and oligo(thienylenevinylene) (PTV) isomers, respectively, at the TD-DFT/6-31þG(d,p)//PBE0/6-31G(d) level. The corresponding properties of polymers were predicted by extrapolation method. The broad absorption regions for polythiophene and/or poly(thienylenevinylene) can be ascribed to the coexistence of various conformational and/or configurational isomers with similar energies and each corresponding excited state possessing different absorption spectrum and overlapping each other. Furthermore, the reorganization energies for electron (k e ) and hole (k h ) of a or b substituted PTV and PT indicate them to be potential ambipolar charge transport materials under the proper operating conditions. Therefore, these results are important because they can provide a rational way for the design of multifunctional materials with broad absorption and ambipolar charge transport properties for solar cells devices.

Sub-picosecond delocalization in the excited state of conjugated homopolymers and donor–acceptor copolymers

In this feature article, we review and examine evidence that the primary photoexcited species in conjugated polymers is considerably delocalized. Localization occurs via a series of complex relaxation mechanisms on the <200 femtosecond time scale. We show that short-lived delocalization in the neutral excited state and charge separated state of bulk heterojunction blends might play an essential role in ensuring efficient formation of free charge carriers for photovoltaic applications. Finally, the additional parameter of intramolecular charge transfer character in the excited state of more recently developed donor-acceptor copolymers is discussed. Both delocalization and partial charge transfer reduce the binding of the electron and hole in photoexcited organic semiconductors and can help to overcome the bottleneck to macroscopic current generation in polymer solar cells.
