Revealing the Dynamics of Charge Carriers in Polymer:Fullerene Blends Using Photoinduced Time-Resolved Microwave Conductivity
Abstract
During the past decade, time-resolved microwave conductivity (TRMC) has evolved to an established, powerful technique to study photoactive layers. With this feature paper, we aim to fulfill two goals: (1) give a full description of the photoinduced TRMC technique, including experimental details and data analysis, and discuss to what extent the TRMC technique differs from more conventional DC techniques and (2) illustrate the potential of this technique for probing charge carrier dynamics in photoactive materials. For these reasons recent studies on conjugated polymer:fullerene blends will be presented and discussed. The findings from these studies have advanced the insight into the mechanism of charge carrier generation and decay in polymer:fullerene blends, which allows us to improve the efficiency of organic photovoltaic cells based on this active layer architecture. In short, it is shown how the TRMC technique can be used as a versatile method to screen the potential of new photovoltaic materials.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
