Abstract We generate percolating fullerene-polymer bulk heterostructures that are consistent with the experimental characterization of a nanostructure, in particular neutron reflectometry and small-angle neutron scattering data from as-cast and annealed poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) and [6,6]-phenyl C61-butyric acid methyl ester systems. Transport simulations correlate changes in exciton dissociation efficiency and charge collection efficiency with morphological features including characteristic domain size, fullerene concentration profile, degree of fullerene sequestration, and degree of P3HT crystallization.
