Abstract

The integration of colloidal nanocrystals with polymers adds optoelectronicfunctionalities to flexible and mechanically robust organic films. Inparticular, self-assembled structures of nanocrystals in polymers can actas functional components enhancing, for instance, transport or opticalproperties of the hybrid material. This study presents Cu2Te hexagonalnanodisks that assemble into ribbons with a face-to-face configuration inpoly(3-hexylthiophene-2,5-diyl) through a controlled solvent evaporationprocess. The ribbons form weaving patterns that create 3D networksfully embedded in the thin polymer film at high nanodisk concentration.The photoresponse of these composite films measured in a layeredvertical geometry demonstrates increased photocurrent with increasingnanocrystal loading. This study attributes this behavior to the presenceof networks of Cu2Te nanodisks that form a bulk heterojunction with thesemiconducting polymer, which improves exciton dissociation and theoverall photoelectric response.
