Excited-state dynamics in diketopyrrolopyrrole-based copolymer for organic photovoltaics investigated by transient optical spectroscopy

抄録

<jats:p>We investigate the photoexcited state dynamics in a donor–acceptor copolymer, poly{3,6-dithiophene-2-yl-2,5-di(2-octyldodecyl)-pyrrolo[3,4-<jats:italic>c</jats:italic>]pyrrole-1,4-dione-<jats:italic>alt</jats:italic>-naphthalene} (pDPP-TNT), by picosecond fluorescence and femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopies. Time-resolved fluorescence lifetime measurements of pDPP-TNT thin films reveal that the lifetime of the singlet excited state is 185 ± 5 ps and that singlet–singlet annihilation occurs at excitation photon densities above 6 × 10<jats:sup>17</jats:sup> photons/cm<jats:sup>3</jats:sup>. From the results of singlet–singlet annihilation analysis, we estimate that the single-singlet annihilation rate constant is (6.0 ± 0.2) × 10<jats:sup>−9</jats:sup> cm<jats:sup>3</jats:sup> s<jats:sup>−1</jats:sup> and the singlet diffusion length is ~7 nm. From the comparison of femtosecond transient absorption measurements and picosecond fluorescence measurements, it is found that the time profile of the photobleaching signal in the charge-transfer (CT) absorption band coincides with that of the fluorescence intensity and there is no indication of long-lived species, which clearly suggests that charged species, such as polaron pairs and triplet excitons, are not effectively photogenerated in the neat pDPP-TNT polymer.</jats:p>
