摘要
Quenching of the PL from conjugated polymers in solution by charge transfer to electron accepters was studied by PL measurements while varying the quencher concentration, the ion concentration in buffered aqueous solutions, and the temperature. For the aqueous solutions, the PL quenching was greatly enhanced by static quenching originating from the formation of a weakly bound complex between the anionic conjugated polymer and cationic electron accepters. The estimated Coulomb binding energy was similar to 150 meV. In contrast, for MEH-PPV and PCBM in 1,2-dichlorobenzene, dynamic quenching was identified as the basic mechanism.
