Ternary blends of poly(3‐hexylthiophene): [6,6]‐phenyl C 61 ‐butyric acid methyl ester (P3HT:PC 61 BM) and the insulating bulk polymers high‐density polyethylene (HDPE), isotactic‐ and atactic polystyrene ( i ‐PS, a ‐PS), are investigated. Addition of up to ≈50 wt% of the electronically inert, semicrystalline HDPE and i ‐PS to the organic semiconducting system does not significantly degrade the performance of photovoltaic devices fabricated with these ternary blends.
