Over the past decades, a variety of pi-conjugated organic materials have been explored as potential charge transport materials in conducting layers of photovoltaic devices. The performance of these devices critically depend on the efficiency with which the charge carriers (electrons and/or holes) move within the pi-conjugated materials present in their hole and electron conducting layers before their collection at the electrode. Hence, a large amount of research effort is devoted not only to the preparation of new pi-conjugated organic molecules for charge transport applications but also in understanding the nature of charge transport along the molecule (intra-chain) as well as …
