Abstract:In organic optoelectronic devices, the self-assembly behavior of the conjugated polymer poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) into structured aggregates significantly influences the device’s performance, with processing conditions playing a key role. Incorporating carbon nanotubes (CNTs) into a P3HT solution can form hierarchical supramolecular structures known as nanohybrid shish-kebabs (NHSKs). These structures alter the morphology of polymer aggregates and provide an alternative pathway for improved charge transpor… Show more
