Abstract
An example organic photovoltaic device includes an organic electron donor region, and an organic electron acceptor region. The acceptor region forms a donor-acceptor interface with the donor region. At least one of the donor region and the acceptor region includes an exciton permeable interface. An energy transfer imbalance across the exciton permeable interface is configured to bias exciton transfer towards the donor-acceptor interface.
Claims19
An organic photovoltaic device comprising:
- an organic electron donor region;
- and
- an organic electron acceptor region, wherein the acceptor region forms a donor-acceptor interface with the donor region;
- and
- wherein at least one of the donor region and the acceptor region comprises an exciton permeable interface, wherein an energy transfer imbalance across the exciton permeable interface is configured to bias exciton transfer towards the donor-acceptor interface.
