TLDR
In this paper, the metastable, reversible, photoinduced electron transfer between semiconducting polymers and buckminsterfullerene is reviewed. And the importance of electron-phonon coupling in these low-dimensional semiconductor polymers, resulting in structural relaxation upon photoexcitation, is proposed to contribute to the stabilization of the charge-separated state.About:

Photoinduced electron transfer from a conducting polymer to buckminsterfullerene.
TL;DR: Because the photoluminescence in the conducting polymer is quenched by interaction with C60, the data imply that charge transfer from the excited state occurs on a picosecond time scale.

Flexible light-emitting diodes made from soluble conducting polymers
TL;DR: In this paper, a flexible polyethylene terephthalate (PET) based light-emitting diodes (LEDs) were constructed from conjugated polymers, using poly(ethylene-terephthalates) as the substrate, soluble poly-aniline as the hole-injecting electrode, substituted poly(1,4-phenylene-vinylene) as electroluminescent layer and calcium as the electron-injection top contract.
