Colloidal nanoparticles of non-capped ZnO:Al have been wet-chemically synthesized as functional materials for novel hybrid device concepts related to organic photovoltaics. The nanoparticles were characterized by means of optical spectroscopy, current-voltage characterization and magnetic resonance techniques. The material was found to fulfil the requirements to become a fullerene substitute in polymer-based organic solar cells and/or to serve as a wave guiding n-conducting buffer layer between the light absorber and the back-reflecting metal electrode. We fabricated polymer-fullerene bulk heterojunction solar cells with and without ZnO:Al layer. The effects of improved light absorption and enhanced selectivity of the metal electrode are discriminated by optical simulations and electrical interface characterization.
