Synergistic Effect of Dielectric Property and Energy Transfer on Charge Separation in Non-Fullerene-Based Solar Cells

Pandeng Li et al.

Summary: In this study, a modified approach was developed to estimate the dielectric constants of PM6 donor and non-fullerene acceptors, revealing higher dielectric constants in most non-fullerene acceptors and blend films, along with significant differences in dielectric constants at optical frequencies. These results are likely associated with reduced exciton binding energy and bimolecular recombination. Furthermore, the overlap between the emission spectrum of the donor and absorption spectrum of the non-fullerene acceptors facilitates energy transfer and efficient charge separation, suggesting a synergistic effect contributing to the physical working mechanism in non-fullerene-based photovoltaic devices.
