Order enables efficient electron-hole separation at an organic heterojunction with a small energy loss

Achieving charge separation in low energy loss organic heterojunctions is crucial to the efficiency of donor-acceptor solar cells, whilst the timescale of the process remains largely unknown. Here, Menke et al. observe slow charge separation up to 5 ps in a system with small energy offset of 50 meV.
