The dissociation of excited electron-hole pairs is a microscopic process that is fundamental to the performance of photovoltaic systems. For this process to be successful, the oppositely charged electron and hole must overcome an electrostatic binding energy before they undergo ground state recombination. It has been observed previously that the presence of energetic disorder can lead to a reduction in recombination losses. Here we investigate this effect using a simple model of charge dynamics ...[more]
