A high density of donor-acceptor interfaces ensuring nanoscale domains is of major importance for bulk hetero-junction organic solar cells. Fully functionalized block copolymers consisting of donor- and acceptor-subchains are an attractive class of materials as they inherently carry the desired heterogeneity on the molecular level. We studied the structure formation in a poly(3-hexyl thiophene-b-perylene acrylate) diblock copolymer by temperature dependent small- and wide-angle X-ray scattering. At high temperatures the block copolymer is in the disordered, non-microphase separated state. During cooling separate crystallization of both blocks induces a donor-acceptor phase separation. The resulting morphology of donor- and acceptor crystals separated on the nanoscale demonstrates the potential applicability of this class of materials for organic solar cell devices.
