Record high efficiencies for a polymer‐based solar cell are reported here for an inorganic/organic composite photovoltaic device containing a single polymer film rather than a polymer/polymer or polymer/nanoparticle blend. The high efficiencies are reported to be due to device construction (see Figure) and the electronic properties of the phenylamino‐ p ‐phenylenevinylene‐based polymer used.
