rganic photovoltaics (PVs) have received intensive attention due to their promising features, such as low cost, light weight, low-temperature process, and large-area production.1 To improve the power conversion efficiency (η) of the pure organic PVs, an alternative is the class of organic inorganic hybrid solar cells (HSCs), where the heterojunction with a large interfacial area is formed between organic polymers and inorganic semiconductors, facilitating fast electron transport with strong complementary absorption of organic semiconductors.2 6 Due to very small diffusion length of the excitons (
