We have investigated thin P3HT/PCBM - (poly[3-hexylthiophene 2,5 diyl]/[6,6]-phenyl C61 butyric acid methyl ester) films, which are widely used as an active layer in plastic solar cells. Their structural properties were studied by X-ray diffraction in grazing incidence geometry. The size and the orientation of crystalline P3HT-nanodomains within the films were determined. Contrarily, PCBM crystallites were not detected in thin films. Upon annealing, the P3HT-crystallinity is increased, whereas PCBM crystallites were not found.

With these results the raise of the optical absorption and spectral photocurrent in low photon energy region can be explained. In addition, the efficiency of P3HT/PCBM solar cells is also significantly increased upon annealing.
