Abstract

The elaboration and characterization of transparent electrodes of ZnO:Al type (aluminum-doped zinc oxide) are crucial steps in the development of organic photovoltaic cells (OPV) due to their essential role in collecting the current generated by the organic active layer. In this work, we have make realization and electrically characterized of transparent electrodes based on ZnO at various doping levels of Al. Subsequently, we created different metal-semiconductor polymer junctions (PV cells) and determined their I(V) characteristics in both darkness and under illumination.
