We refer the reader to our former reports [4][11] and review articles for a detailed introduction to KPFM on organic heterojunctions [20], and to the specificities of the PTB7:PC71BM blend. We limit ourselves here to recall that in these

In particular, in the case of the PTB7:PC71BM system, it is now well-established that isolated PC71BM clusters act as

  • PTB7 and PC71BM is subsequently investigated by recording point-spectroscopy curves as a function of the optical power at the cathode and by mapping 2D time-resolved images of the surface photovoltage of the bare organic active layer.
