Disentangling Polaron Formation Pathways in Y6 by Probing Noninteracting and Interacting Chromophores via Transient Absorption Spectroscopy

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
The central role of both electronically interacting and noninteracting chromophores in the photogeneration of charges has been unambiguously identified by ultrafast pump‐probe spectroscopy in thin films of the prototypical non‐fullerene acceptor Y6. Onsager‐like autoionization from higher‐energy excitations on Y6 aggregates is found to control polaron ...
