Single-component organic solar cells (SCOSCs) with intrinsically high stability have witnessed efficiencies from 2-3% to 6-11%. For boosting higher efficiencies of SCOSCs, essential information of charge-carrier dynamics as a function of microstructure is highly demanded, requesting systematical investigation on photophysics. In this work, for the first time, the charge-carrier dynamics of a representative double-cable polymer, which achieves efficiencies of over 6% as an active layer in SCOSCs, is investigated across seven orders of magnitude in time scale, from fs-ps TAS and ps-ns TRPL for probing charge generation to ns-us TAS for charge recombination. Specific emphasis is placed on understanding the impact of thermal post-treatment on the charge dissociation, transport, and recombination dynamics. By increasing the thermal annealing temperature, geminate recombination is reduced accompanied by more efficient charge dissociation and suppressed bimolecular recombination. Annealing the photoactive layer at 230 oC results in the highest photovoltaic performance correlating well with the findings from transient studies. This work intends to present a complete picture of the charge-carrier dynamics in SCOSCs.
