- This invited paper uses Kinetic Monte Carlo to quantify the impact of “hot” charge transfer states (HCTs) on Organic Photovoltaic device (OPV) efficiency. This paper showed that the quantitative impact of HCTs is too small to explain high performance in OPVs. This has led to researchers adopting different strategies to optimize OPV architectures, e.g. Izawa et al, Adv Mater, 2015, 27, pp. 3025-3031. This paper appeared on the journal cover.
