Thumbnail image of graphical abstract

A facile one step method for periodic nanostructuring of organic solar cells is presented. The nanostructured metal–organic interface delivers combined enhanced light trapping and improved charge extraction leading to up to a 10% increase in power conversion efficiency of already optimized planar devices.
