Photovoltaic devices remain an important aim for thin films of conjugated polymers. Here is reported the construction of devices with improved photovoltaic performance, which is achieved by blending elongated CdSe nanocrystals (see Figure) with regioregular poly(3‐hexylthiophene). Improved transport arising from denser aggregation between the elongated particles is a probable source of the enhanced energy conversion.
