Bulk heterojunction (BHJ) strategy requires morphology of wide area donor–acceptor interfaces with high charge carrier mobilities through the bicontinuous charge transporting layers. Here, we report formation of well-defined BHJ microspheres from regiorandom poly(hexylthiophene) (rra-PHT)/phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) mixture by a vapor diffusion method. Through electrochemical oxidation, the BHJ microsphere exhibits enhanced generation of PHT cation species due to increased hole-transport property in comparison with a solution-cast film derived from rra-PHT/PCBM mixture without microsphere morphology. Photoconductivity and electrochemical stability of the microsphere are comparable or even higher than those of a cast film of irregular aggregates of regioregular P3HT.
