Transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD)–C 60 composite films were fabricated by a facile two‐step methodology; self‐assembly into the composite aggregates and their electrophoretic deposition onto the electrode. Photoexcitation of the composites exhibited remarkably enhanced transient conductivities in comparison with the single components, TMDs or C 60 , demonstrating that the heterojunction nanostructure promoted the charge separation.
