Abstract
Method for producing a hybrid organic solar cell having the general structure Substrate+EM/HTM/dye/SOL/EM, or Substrate+EM/SOL/dye/HTM/EM, or Substrate+EM/HTM/SOL/EM, in which EM is the electrode material that may be a transparent conductive oxide (TCO) or metal, with at least one of the EM layer(s) of the cell being a TCO, HTM is the hole transport material, SOL is a semiconducting oxide layer, “dye” is a suitable dye, and the SOL layer is vapor deposited.

Method for the production of a hybrid organic solar cell comprising introducing the semiconducting oxide layer (SOL) by thermal deposition.
Method for the production of a hybrid organic solar cell having the general structure
- Substrate+EM/HTM/dye/SOL/EM, or
- Substrate+EM/SOL/dye/HTM/EM, or
- Substrate+EM/HTM/SOL/EM, in which
- EM is the electrode material, selected from the group comprising of a transparent conductive oxide (TCO) and metal, with at least one of the EM layer(s) of the cell being a TCO,
- HTM is the hole transport material,
- SOL is a semiconducting oxide layer,
- “dye” means a suited dye,
- comprising vapor-deposition of the SOL layer of the hybrid organic solar cell.
Use of an vapour deposited additional semiconductive oxide layer to improve the efficiency of organic solar cells.
