摘要: We report a study of the electronic properties heterojunction between regioregular poly(3-hexylthiophene) (rrP3HT) and single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs). Comparison spectroscopic data nanotube dispersions in range polymers indicates significant changes nature observed SWNT excitons only combination with rrP3HT. A detailed analysis concludes that type II rrP3HT small diameter s-SWNTs is formed, making these particular nanohybrids promising material for organic photovoltaics.
