23. The regioregular P3HTwith head-to-tail coupling >98.5 % was obtained commercially from Aldrich Ltd., Dorset, UK. The synthesis route is described in T. A. Cheng, X. Wu, D. Ricke, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1995, 117, 233. EP-PTC was purchased from Synthec, Germany.
24. The EQE is defined as the number of electrons in the external circuit per incident photon.
25. The power conversion efficiency and the fill factor are defined as in [4]. This definition yields values that are approximately half of those obtained by following the definition used by some other authors (e.g., in [2]).
