Justin Hodgkiss opened the discussion of the paper by Jenny Nelson: A viable explanation for the initial long-range charge separation step in organic photovoltaic cells is via extremely high non-equilibrium charge mobilities of charge pairs initially formed high in the density of states (DOS). In this model, charge separation would be enhanced by some degree of disorder, including possibly the disorder induced by the packing with the fullerene at the heterojunction. Can you comment on the implications of your work on this model of charge separation? Do you see sufficient disorder higher in the DOS to expect high initial hole mobilities?Jenny Nelson answered: The effect of enhanced disorder near the interfaces in driving charge away from the interfaces towards regions where the materials are more ordered and the electronic states lie deeper into the band gap seems a very plausible one to me. The model would be compatible with this because the deeper lying states result from more extended regions of conjugation that would be more likely to occur away from the interfaces, where the second material in a heterojunction is less able to disrupt packing. In the work done so far, we concentrated mainly on the polymer domain and so were not able to study the interfaces in detail. The model could however be applied to binary systems, and this effect of a destabilisation of the electronic states due to packing disorder close to the interface could be studied. The limiting factor will be the time taken to carry out molecular dynamics (MD) of many representative binary systems.
