A strategy to control the molecular growth of coevaporated zinc phthalocyanine (ZnPc) and fullerene (C60) blended films for efficient organic photovoltaic (OPV) cells was demonstrated. Introduction of a 2,5-bis(4-biphenylyl)-bithiophene (BP2T) film or a ZnPc film on BP2T as nanostructured templates not only results in phase-separated domains in blended films with clear interpenetrating networks but also improves the crystallinity of ZnPc domains, both of which enhance photocurrent generation… Expand
