Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en" id="aenm201470037-abs-0001"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p>In article number 1301665, Wen‐Chang Chen and co‐workers report the successful preparation of highly conducting silver (Ag)/poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP) electrospun nanofibers with controlled Ag crystalline orientation and particle size. The nanofibers are used to significantly enhance the power conversion efficiency of poly(3‐hexyl thiophene) (P3HT):[6, 6]‐phenyl C61‐butyric acid methyl ester (PC61BM) photovoltaic cells. The enhancement is attributed to the conductive network of the crossed pattern and the surface plasmon resonance effect. <boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pghgxpb952" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
