15 Questions to Answer In the blends of polymer and fullerene: What is the Hole-transfer time? What are dynamics of PCBM exciton-tocharge conversion?
16 Cover story: The active layer of the currently most efficient plastic photovoltaic cells is a blend of polymer and methanofullerene molecules. In their article M.S. Pshenichnikov et al. show that hole transfer upon methanofullerene excitation operates simultaneously with electron transfer as the charge generation process in plastic photovoltaics, at a staggering timescale of 3 fs.
