Hybrid Nanorod-Polymer Solar Cells
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that semiconductor nanorods can be used to fabricate readily processed and efficient hybrid solar cells together with polymers and Tuning the band gap by altering the nanorod radius enabled us to optimize the overlap between the absorption spectrum of the cell and the solar emission spectrum.
