In most OPV materials, the excited states are more localized than in inorganic photovoltaic systems, and the excitons generally migrate through the materials by random diffusion that are typically driven by energy transfer. In typical OPV active layers, singlet excitons have a limited lifetime overall, which is consistent with a small exciton
