Hybrid solar cells based on polymers and metal oxides combine the advantages of organic and inorganic materials such as high absorption coefficients, efficient charge generation as well as solution-processability. Doped metal oxides are of particular interest as they are inexpensive, environmentally friendly and can be obtained in versatile shapes (dots, rods, porous films). We synthesized aluminium-doped ZnO-nanocrystals (4–7nm) to use them as electron acceptors in hybrid bulk heterojunction devices. For this, a mesoporous matrix is prepared from ZnO:Al-nanoparticle dispersions to be infiltrated by a conjugated polymer acting as electron donor. We present first realizations of hybrid ZnO:Al-poly(alkylthiophene) bulk heterojunction solar cells and discuss their photovoltaic performance in respect of modified active layer morphology and electrode materials.
