Two types of Au nanorods (NRs) possessing longitudinal/transverse axes of 55/11 (NR11) and 90/18 nm (NR18) are, respectively, incorporated into the hole extraction layer to improve optical-to-electrical conversion performances in polymer photovoltaic cells. Totally different improvement factors in s...
