Figure 17.

TEM images of the hybrid blend with QDs and NRs (0.3:0.7 wt/wt) in the PSBTBT matrix: (a) top and (b) cross-sectional views. The scale bars in the insets are 5 nm. Continuous interfacial contacts by both QDs and NRs are clearly shown in both horizontal and perpendicular directions of the film. (c) Cross-sectional schematic diagram of the three differently composed devices to explain the superiority of the hetero-structured blends. Reprinted with permission from Ref. [107].
