We synthesize a polytriphenylamine homopolymer and two donor−acceptor copolymers (D−A-copolymers) based on triphenylamine (TPA) as donor in combination with two different acceptor moieties to study the effect of the acceptor unit on the excited- state charge-transfer characteristics (CT-characteristics) and charge separation. The two acceptor moieties are a dicyanovinyl group in the side chain and a thieno(3,4-b)thiophene carboxylate in the main chain. Absorption and photoluminescence studies show new CT- bands for both of the D−A-copolymers. Field-dependent charge extraction studies in bilayer solar cells indicate a stronger CT-character for the copolymer in which the acceptor group is less conjugated with the copolymer backbone. The D−A-copolymer carrying the acceptor unit in the main chain exhibits smaller excitonic CT-character and good conjugation leading to less-bound electron−hole pairs and a better charge separation. This fundamental study gives insight into the interdependence of conjugation, charge carrier mobility, and solar cell performance for two different D−A-copolymers.

Influence of the Excited-State Charge-Transfer Character on the Exciton Dissociation in Donor–Acceptor Copolymers
