16 The crucial role of morphology - D + A 100 µm The segregation between the donor and the acceptor phase must be of the order of the exciton diffusion lenght (tenths of nm) for efficient charge generation The blend morphology has to provide percoltive donor and acceptor phases for the efficient transport of charge carriers to their respective electrodes µm µm
