Spectrally selective light detection is vital for full-colour and near-infrared (NIR) imaging and machine vision. This is not possible with traditional broadband-absorbing inorganic semiconductors ...without input filtering, and is yet to be achieved for narrowband absorbing organic semiconductors. We demonstrate the first sub-100 nm full-width-at-half-maximum visible-blind red and NIR photodetectors with state-of-the-art performance across critical response metrics. These devices are based on organic photodiodes with optically thick junctions. Paradoxically, we use broadband-absorbing organic semiconductors and utilize the electro-optical properties of the junction to create the narrowest NIR-band photoresponses yet demonstrated. In this context, these photodiodes outperform the encumbent technology (input filtered inorganic semiconductor diodes) and emerging technologies such as narrow absorber organic semiconductors or quantum nanocrystals. The design concept allows for response tuning and is generic for other spectral windows. Furthermore, it is material-agnostic and applicable to other disordered and polycrystalline semiconductors.
During the past decade, time-resolved microwave conductivity (TRMC) has evolved to an established, powerful technique to study photoactive layers. With this feature paper, we aim to fulfill two ...goals: (1) give a full description of the photoinduced TRMC technique, including experimental details and data analysis, and discuss to what extent the TRMC technique differs from more conventional DC techniques and (2) illustrate the potential of this technique for probing charge carrier dynamics in photoactive materials. For these reasons recent studies on conjugated polymer:fullerene blends will be presented and discussed. The findings from these studies have advanced the insight into the mechanism of charge carrier generation and decay in polymer:fullerene blends, which allows us to improve the efficiency of organic photovoltaic cells based on this active layer architecture. In short, it is shown how the TRMC technique can be used as a versatile method to screen the potential of new photovoltaic materials.

Organic–inorganic perovskites, such as CH3NH3PbX3 (X = I, Br, Cl), have emerged as attractive absorber materials for the fabrication of low cost high efficiency solar cells. Over the last 3 years, ...there has been an exceptional rise in power conversion efficiencies (PCEs), demonstrating the outstanding potential of these perovskite materials. However, in most device architectures, including the simplest thin-film planar structure, a current–voltage response displays an “anomalous hysteresis”, whereby the power output of the cell varies with measurement time, direction and light exposure or bias history. Here we provide insight into the physical processes occurring at the interface between the n-type charge collection layer and the perovskite absorber. Through spectroscopic measurements, we find that electron transfer from the perovskite to the TiO2 in the standard planar junction cells is very slow. By modifying the n-type contact with a self-assembled fullerene monolayer, electron transfer is “switched on”, and both the n-type and p-type heterojunctions with the perovskite are active in driving the photovoltaic operation. The fullerene-modified devices achieve up to 17.3% power conversion efficiency with significantly reduced hysteresis, and stabilized power output reaching 15.7% in the planar p–i–n heterojunction solar cells measured under simulated AM 1.5 sunlight.
