Abstract
We have successfully fabricated core-shell type hybridized nanocrystals composed of C60 (core, n-type) and poly-alkylthiophene P3HT (shell, p-type) by reprecipitation method. The fabricated hybridized nanocrystals had both absorption bands of C60 and P3HT. The absorption band of the hybridized nanocrystals is almost the same as that of layered fullerene/P3HT structure. Using the hybridized nanocrystals, we also have successfully fabricated layered thin film by electrophoretic deposition method. It seems that the hybridized nanocrystals will be useful as components for OPV device.
