Revisiting the intensity-dependent quantum efficiency (IDQE) technique in the context of non-fullerene acceptors, we find that at forward-bias conditions, the response exhibits what seems to be anomalous behavior that is not consistent with light excitation induced trap filling. Analysis based on the Shockley–Read–Hall model leads to the conclusion that the contacts cause the traps to be completely full in the dark. The role of the light excitation is to half-empty the traps, and thus, the “anomalous” behavior is created. By fitting the IDQE at several bias levels, we find that the trapping is consistent with multiphonon capture by a state close to the middle of the gap. As trap-assisted recombination is a significant loss mechanism, it is essential to fully monitor it for indoor applications as well as to cross the single junction 20% power conversion efficiency limit.
