A new approach to the synthesis of conjugated polymer-nanocrystal composites for heterojunction optoelectronics.
We report a simple one pot process for the preparation of lead sulfide (PbS) nanocrystals in the conjugated polymer poly (2-methoxy-5-(2'ethyl-hexyloxy)-p-phenylene vinylene)(MEH-PPV), and we demonstrate electronic coupling between the two components.
