43. A private communication from A. J. Heeger indicates that power conversion efficiency up to 4.8% has been realized by placing a thin TiOx layer between the active layer and the electron-collecting Al electrode to modify the spatial distribution of the light intensity inside | the device, a technique described in ref 44.
