The performance of PSCs strongly depends, as stated above, on the three-dimensional organization of the compounds within the photoactive layer. Donor and acceptor materials should form co-continuous networks with nanoscale phase separation to be able to effectively dissociate exdtons into free electrons and holes, and to guarantee fast charge carrier transport from any place in the active layer to the electrodes. The most successfid technique that provides local 3D morpholo information with nanometer resolution in all three dimensions is electron tomography (ET), also referred to as transmission electron microtomography and 3D TEM [27-32].

Figure 1 shows the spatial resolution of various types of microscopes and scattering methods. The figure includes 3D microscopy such as laser scanning confocal microscopy (LSCM), X-ray computerized tomography (X-ray CT), and transmission electron microtomography (TEMT). Although no experimental results obtained from the X-ray CT will be presented in the present review paper, we note that the microscopy [4] is particularly usefiil to...
