title: Performance enhancement of hybrid solar cells through chemical vapor annealing.
abstract: Improvement in power conversion efficiency has been observed in cadmium selenide nanorods/poly(3-hexylthiophene) hybrid solar cells through benzene-1,3-dithiol chemical vapor annealing. Phosphor NMR studies of the nanorods and TEM/AFM characterizations of the morphology of the blended film showed that the ligand exchange reaction and related phase separation happening during the chemical vapor annealing are responsible for the performance enhancement.
