Three-Dimensional Symmetry Decides the Description of the Energy of Charge-Transfer State in Organic Solar Cells | ACS Applied Energy …

We have unraveled the corresponding relation between calculation of the energy of the charge-transfer state (ECT) and the structure of the acceptor via formula methods and bowl-nonfullerene models. The results indicate that the ground-state description of ECT is system dependent and generally limited to acceptors without three-dimensional symmetry. …

Regulation of molecular orientation in organic solar cells

Exciton dissociation and charge transfer are intricately connected to the molecular stacking mode and phase separation structure of the blend film in BHJ solar cells. In fullerene blend films, the stacking mode of the acceptor has negligible impact on the transport of free electrons, given the spherical molecular structure of fullerene molecules.

A hybridization-induced charge-transfer state energy arrangement reduces nonradiative energy loss in organic solar cells

Here, we explain why the Energy Gap Law and the energy inversion related to the charge-transfer state have opposite effects on the trend of nonradiative energy loss of organic solar cells. The root is the existing condition of energy inversion. There is indeed a certain probability of energy inversion, but i
