Long‐Range Resonant Energy Transfer for Enhanced Exciton Harvesting for Organic Solar Cells

Abstract

We present theory and experiment demonstrating a scheme to harvest singlet excitons over 25 nm away from a donor-acceptor interface using resonant energy transfer. Improvement in materials choice could yield effective diffusion lengths as large as 40 nm using long-range transfer, while minimizing the energy loss to less than 0.1 eV making this a promising approach for developing highly efficient organic photovoltaics.
