Fast Recombination of Charge-Transfer State in Organic Photovoltaic Composite of P3HT and Semiconducting Carbon Nanotubes Is the Reason for Its Poor Photovoltaic Performance

Abstract: Although the photovoltaic performance of the composite of poly-3-hexylthiophene (P3HT) with semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes (s-SWCNT) is promising, the short-circuit current density jSC is much lower than that for typical polymer/fullerene composites. Out-of-phase electron spin echo (ESE) technique with laser excitation of the P3HT/s-SWCNT composite was used to clarify the origin of the poor photogeneration of free charges. The appearance of out-of-phase ESE signal is a solid proof that the charg… Show more

“…The emission/absorption spectral patterns are often observed in echo-detected EPR experiments on organic photovoltaic composites at low temperatures and small DAF values. This was observed for composites of donor polymer with different acceptors: fullerene [17]; nonfullerene small molecule [12]; and semiconducting carbon nanotubes [35]. Such a pattern is generated in the course of spin evolution of the CT state accompanying its thermalization in the constant magnetic field of the EPR spectrometer, during which the spins of the charges constituting the CT state acquire the opposite polarization [16,36,37].…”
