摘要
The recombination kinetics of long-lived photogenerated charge carriers are investigated by transient absorption spectroscopy on nano- to millisecond time scales in a composite of poly[2-methoxy-5-(3',7'-dimethyloctyloxy)-1-4-phenylene vinylene], (MDMO-PPV) and 1-(3-methoxycarbonyl)-propyl-1-phenyl-(6,6)C-61 (PCBM) at room temperature. The decay dynamics of the positive polarons, attributed to recombination with PCBM anions, were found to be either monophasic or biphasic. dependent upon the laser excitation density. The slower decay phase is assigned to recombination dynamics of localized polarons while the fast component (<20 ns) is assigned to the recombination of mobile polarons when the density of photogenerated polarons is higher than the available density of localized states (similar to10(17)cm(-3)).
