By means of femto-second time-resolved spectroscopy, we investigated the carrier formation process against film morphology and temperature (T) in highly-efficient organic photovoltaic, poly[[4,8-bis[(2-ethylhexyl)oxy]benzo[1,2-b:4,5- ] dithiophene-2,6-diyl][3-fluoro-2-[(2-ethylhexyl)carbonyl]thieno[3,4-b] thiophenediyl]] (PTB7)/[6,6]-phenyl -butyric acid methyl ester solar cells. We found that the carrier formation efficiency ( ) from an absorbed photon is nearly independent of the film morphology, indicating that the internal quantum efficiency ( ) is mainly governed by the carrier transfer efficiency ( ) to the electrodes. The activation energy ( ) of is significantly low, which suggests an extended charge-transfer state around the PTB7/PC70BM interface.

We investigated carrier formation dynamics in a small-molecular bulk heterojunction solar cell, 2,5-di-(2-ethylhexyl)-3,6-bis-(5″-n-hexy-[2,2′,5′,2″]terthiophen-5-yl)-pyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrrolo-1,4-dione/[6,6]-phenyl C71-butyric acid methyl ester, with low bandgap (Egap ≈ 1.5 eV). The photoinduced absorption (PIA) spectra of the blend film were decomposed into three PIAs, i.e., those due to donor exciton (D*), acceptor exciton (A*), and mobile carrier (D+). The analysis revealed carrier conversion from D* with a conversion time of ∼1.3 ps.
