9 Hybrid nanowire-polymer photovoltaics Arrays of nanowires: enhanced charge transfer and enhanced light absorption GaAs (electron acceptor) and P3HT (electron donor) GaAs NWs (diameter = 25 nm) are blended with P3HT in a single solvent Drying mediated self-assembly leads to vertically inclined NWs (top-rich) Charge transport in the vertical direction, vertical separation reduces leakage current S.
