A–C Transient absorption spectra of FOOCOF. D Normalized transient absorption kinetics for FOOCOF. E–G Transient absorption spectra of FOOCOF-PDI. H Normalized transient absorption kinetics for FOOCOF-PDI. Temperature-dependent photoluminescence spectrum of integrated PL intensity as a function of the temperature of (I) FOOCOF and (J) FOOCOF-PDI (inset: temperature-dependent PL spectra from 80 to 290 K). K Photocurrent response and (L) Mott–Schottky curve of FOOCOF, FOOCOF-PDIU and FOOCOF-PDI.
