A novel route to obtain donor-acceptor nanocomposite by using electrophoretic deposition has been proposed. Suspensions containing MEH-PPV and C-60 nanoparticles are made by mixing suspensions of individual components. The film obtained by the electrophoretic deposition in the suspension shows notable quenching of photoluminescence, indicating the photoinduced charge transfer between donor MEH-PPV and acceptor C-60. This results suggests that the donor-acceptor nanocomposite obtained through the electrophoretic deposition in the mixture of suspensions is a promising material for organic photocells.
