On page 6706, K. Cho and co‐workers develop a facile approach to realize a polymer nanowire‐embedded photoactive layer in bulk‐heterojunction solar cells. The incorporation of self‐assembled nanowires of a donor–acceptor alternating copolymer efficiently facilitates photon harvesting, allowing a significantly enhanced power conversion efficiency of the solar‐cell device.
