The polymer PffBT4T-C9C13 (poly[(5,6-difluoro-2,1,3-benzothiadiazole-4,7-diyl)[3,3'''-bis(2-decyltetradecyl)[2,2':5',2'':5'',2'' -quaterthiophene]-5,5'''-diyl]]) produces organic solar cells of >11% efficiency with both fullerenes and non-fullerenes. We present a comprehensive morphology and spectroscopy study of this polymer and its blends, focusing on atomic force microscopy, x-ray diffraction, and transient absorption spectroscopy on microsecond timescales. Unusually, fullerene-induced ordering is observed, with the polymer/fullerene blend displaying a greater crystallinity compared to the pristine polymer. This was correlated with the appearance of bimodal polarons: fast-decaying polarons in the pristine amorphous polymer domains and trapped polarons localised in the fullerene-induced ordering (crystallline) domains. The lifetime of the trapped polaron was significantly enhanced upon thermal annealing, and the complex relationship observed between lifetime and film crystallinity suggest a contribution from trap states at the interfaces between ordered and disordered domains that lead to inhibited recombination. In contrast, blends incorporating the well-known analogue PffBT4T-2OD (with a shorter alkyl chain length) exhibit neither fullerene-induced ordering nor bimodal polarons. However, both PffBT4T-C9C13 and PffBT4T-2OD polymer blends show clear evidence of polymer triplet formation, which is the first time triplets have been identified in PffBT4T-based blends. In this study, we remark upon the complex relationship between morphology and the photophysics. This relationship will open the door to the synthesis of new molecules to control the blend morphology and thus optimise organic photovoltaic performance.
