Abstract
Nanocomposites have shown promise as the active layer for photovoltaic ener gy conversion. One example is tilt, CdSe nanocrystal\polymer composite demo nstrated by Hyunh and Greenham [1, 2]. In this paper we investigate the bas eline properties of the materials used in such a device. We present surface chemical information for CdSe nanocrystals and chemical analysis for poly- (3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) polymer.
