Exciton binding energies in conjugated polyelectrolyte films.
Molecular design: The electronic structure of conjugated polyelectrolytes as a function of ionization potential (IP) and electron affinity (EA) is determined using X-ray absorption and emission spectroscopy (see figure). Different functional groups give rise to dissimilar transport gaps and exciton binding energies.
