Embodiment 1

[0125] Photoelectric device

[0126] The optoelectronic devices described herein were constructed as follows. A glass tubing catheter core having an inner diameter of 1.5 mm, an outer diameter of 1.8 mm, and closed at one end in a hemispherical cap was obtained from Chemglass, Inc., Vineland, NJ. The glass tubes were cleaned in an ultrasonic bath and then dried. A radiation-transmissive first electrode of ITO with a thickness of 100 nm was deposited on about 50 percent of the outer surface of the glass tube by radio-frequency (rf) magnetron sputtering from an ITO target at 80 °C, thereby on the tube surface An approximately semi-cylindrical first electrode is formed. The tubes were then exposed to ozone for 90 minutes. An organic photosensitive layer is then deposited on the radiation transmissive ITO first electrode by a dip coating operation. The organic photosensitive layer includes poly(3,4-polyethylenedioxythiophene)-poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS, Clevios, thickne...

Description

[0001] related application [0002] This application claims priority under 35 U.S.C §119(e) to U.S. Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 61 / 394,306, filed October 18, 2010, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. technical field [0003] The present invention relates to optoelectronic devices (photovoltaic devices) and, in particular, to hybrid photovoltaic devices (photovoltaic devices) comprising electrical and thermal energy production capabilities. Background technique [0004] Optoelectronic devices convert electromagnetic radiation into electricity by generating a photogenerated current when connected across a load and exposed to light. The electrical energy generated by photovoltaic cells (photovoltaic cells) can be used in a variety of applications, including lighting, heating, battery charging, and powering devices that require electrical energy. [0005] When irradiated under an infinite load, a photovoltaic device produces its maxi...
