Abstract

We show how inclusion of mesoscale order resolves the controversy between experimental and theoretical results for the energy-level profile and alignment in a variety of photovoltaic systems, with direct experimental validation [1,2]. We explain how this order and interfacial roughness generate electrostatic forces that drive charge separation and prevent carrier trapping across a donor-acceptor interface [2]. Comparing several of small-molecule donor-fullerene combinations, we illustrate how tuning of molecular orientation and interfacial mixing leads to a trade-off between photovoltaic gap and charge-splitting and detrapping forces, with consequences for the design of efficient photovoltaic devices. By accounting for long-range mesoscale fields, we obtain the ionization energies in both crystalline [3] and mesoscopically amorphous systems with high accuracy [4]. [1] C. Poelking, M. Tietze, C.
