description: We report a 47.1% efficiency improvement resulting from the combination of device-architecture modification and inclusion of poly(3-hexylthiophene-2,5-diyl) nanowires (P3HT NWs) in bulk heterojunction (BHJ) active layers (ALs). Modelling of ellipsometry spectra shows substantial changes in inhomogeneity and optical constants of BHJ ALs with P3HT-NW inclusion. Furthermore, finite-difference time-domain simulation results based on actual device structures with inhomogeneous AL models indicate that enhanced light harvesting is a main contributing factor to efficiency improvement. On the contrary, P3HT-NW inclusion has no significant effect on charge carrier collection, other than suppressing occurrence of cul-de-sac in hole-transport pathways and unfavourable indene-C60 bisadduct domains near top anodes.
