abstract = {Understanding charge separation dynamics in organic
semiconductor blends is crucial for optimizing the
performance of organic photovoltaic solar cells. In this
study, the optoelectronic properties and charge separation
dynamics of a PCE10:FOIC blend, by combining steady-state
and time-resolved spectroscopies with high-level DFT
calculations. Femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy
revealed a significant reduction of the exciton-exciton
annihilation recombination rate in the acceptor when
incorporated into the blend, compared to its pristine form.
This reduction is attributed to a decrease in exciton
density within the acceptor, driven by an efficient
hole-separation process that is characterized by following
the temporal evolution of the transient signals associated
with the excited states of the donor when the acceptor is
selectively excited within the blend. The analysis of these
dynamics enabled the estimation of the hole separation time
constant from the acceptor to the donor, yielding a time
constant of (1.3 ± 0.3) ps. Additionally, this study
allowed the quantification of exciton diffusion and revealed
a charge separation efficiency of $≈60\%,$ providing
valuable insights for the design of next-generation organic
photovoltaic materials with enhanced charge separation and
improved device efficiency.},
