Abstract
Nano structured polymer-based solar cells (PSCs) have emerged as a promising low-cost alternative to conventional inorganic photovoltaic devices and are now a subject of intensive research both in academia and industry. For PSCs to become practical efficient devices, several issues should still be addressed, including further understanding of their operation and stability, which in turn are largely determined by the morphological organisation in the photoactive layer. The latter is typically a few hundred nanometres thick film consisting of a blend of two materials: an electron donor (such as a polythiophene) and an electron acceptor (such as a fullerene derivative).
