The performance of modern organic bulk-heterojunction solar cells relies on a transition from a localised singlet exciton on an acceptor molecule (S1) to a charge-transfer state (CT), followed by CT dissociation into separated charge (CS) carriers. The latter may afterwards either be extracted or recombine by reforming CT. Losses may occur at every stage of the free carrier generation and during their lifetime and proceed via radiative and non-radiative decay of S1 and CT. The S1 reformation efficiency from CT then comes forward as a key parameter characterizing the distribution of losses via the different channels. We employ a rate equation analysis to determine the singlet reformation efficiency for several low-offset organic solar cells and find a good correlation with the S1-CT offsets extracted from temperature-dependent electroluminescence quantum yield measurements. This supports our earlier observations that the energy offset affects the bimolecular recombination coefficient in OPV blends and indicates that exciton reformation may indeed act a channel for non-geminate recombination.
