40 How can charge separation occur? Coulomb binding energy for point charges at ~ 1 nm separation in medium with ε = 3 is >> kt What effects could reduce the effective binding energy? Effect of polarisable medium Spatial distribution of charge Entropic contribution All these effects help reduce effective binding energy, but none large enough.. Model system: cubic lattice of isotropically polarizable dipoles. Charge pair placed on this lattice at some separation. Dipoles moved self consistently. Effect of solvation is to reduce binding at close separations. 41

44 Conclusions Photocurrent generation in polymer:fullerene solar cells relies on charge separation at a donor-acceptor interface The efficiency of charge separation depends on driving force chemical structure microstructure (domain size and order) competing excited states (triplets and CT states) No simple guidelines exist to describe the process Need new methods to address: nature and energy of excited states stages involved in charge separation dynamics of charge separation dynamics of excited states during charge separation Thank you for your attention! 45
