Ch.4: Polymer Solar Cells: Photoinduced Charge Transfer ▪ Photoinduced Electron Transfer between Conjugated Polymer and Fullerene N. S. Sariciftci & A. J. Heeger et al., Science 258 (1992) C.B. V.B. C 60 LUMO Level 50fs ~ ms Conjugated Polymer C 60 C 60 HOMO Level High Quantum Efficiency ~ 100% -Very efficient process faster than any other competing processes such as polaron, bipolaron, and exciton formation ( <50 fs ). -Back transfer is slowed down by forming polarons in C60.
