Organic solar module and/or fabrication method

An organic photovoltaic device comprising:

• a substrate that is substantially transparent;
• and
• a photovoltaic circuit supported by the substrate, the photovoltaic circuit comprising a planar assembly of circuit layers, wherein the planar assembly of circuit layers consists essentially of:
• a first hybrid electrode formed from a blend of first silver nanowires and a conjugated polymer that carries positive charges, wherein the first silver nanowires are embedded in the conjugated polymer,
• a second hybrid electrode formed from a blend of second silver nanowires and an inorganic semiconducting material, wherein the second hybrid electrode carries negative charges, and the second silver nanowires are embedded in the inorganic semiconducting material, and
• a photoactive layer disposed between the first hybrid electrode and the second hybrid electrode, the photoactive layer being formed from a composition comprising an organic photoactive material.

A method of forming an organic photovoltaic device, the method comprising:

• forming a hybrid cathode layer in stacked alignment with a substrate, the hybrid cathode layer comprising a combination of first electrically conductive nanowires and an electron-transport material, wherein the electron-transport material exhibits a preference to conduct electrons and impede a flow of holes, and the first electrically conductive nanowires are embedded in the electron-transport material;
• after forming the hybrid cathode layer, forming a photoactive layer on a structure comprising the substrate and the hybrid cathode layer;
• and
• after forming the photoactive layer, forming a hybrid anode layer that is separated from the hybrid cathode layer by the photoactive layer, the hybrid anode layer comprising a combination of second electrically conductive nanowires and a hole-transporting material, wherein the hole-transporting material exhibits a preference to conduct holes and impede a flow of electrons, and the second electrically conductive nanowires are embedded in the hole-transporting material.
