Abstract

Light-induced charge transfer from the photoexcited donor to the acceptor is the fundamental step towards current generation in organic solar cells. Experimental evidence for efficient charge separation on ultrafast time scales has been available for quite some time. Yet even today, the elementary mechanisms underlying this process in organic semiconductors and in particular the role of the coherent wave-like motion of electrons and nuclei for the charge separation are still a matter of considerable debate. In this perspective, we present a survey of the current understanding on the role of quantum coherences in organic semiconductors. Specifically, we discuss the role of vibronic couplings for ultrafast charge separation dynamics with particular attention on the potential implications for the light-to-current conversion process in photovoltaic devices.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
