TLDR
While most examples are related to small-molecule organic semiconductors, many of the ideas can be applied to other systems and comment on implications for device applications.
Abstract
We review basic concepts as well as recent examples and applications of organic–organic heterostructures. We organize the different types of heterostructures according to material A deposited on material B (A/B), A co-deposited with B (A:B), heterostructures in the monolayer regime including nanostructuring concepts and systems involving self-assembled monolayers, as well as various other architectures, including superlattices. While most examples are related to small-molecule organic semiconductors, many of the ideas can be applied to other systems. The central theme is growth and structure as well as optical and electronic properties. Finally, we comment on implications for device applications.

Efficient photodiodes from interpenetrating polymer networks

TL;DR: In this paper, the interpenetrating network formed from a phase-segregated mixture of two semiconducting polymers is shown to provide both the spatially distributed interfaces necessary for efficient charge photo-generation, and the means for separately collecting the electrons and holes.
