A solid state photovoltaic device is formed on a substrate and includes a photoactive channel layer interposed between a pair of electrodes. The photoactive channel layer includes a first material which absorbs light and operates as a hole carrier. Within the first material are nanoparticles of a second material which operate as electron carriers. The nanoparticles are distributed within the photoactive channel layer such that, predominantly, the charge path between the two electrodes at any given location includes only a single nanocrystal. Because a majority of electrons are channeled to the electrodes via single nanocrystal conductive paths, the resulting architecture is referred to as a channel architecture.
Dispositif photovoltaïque solide formé sur un substrat et comportant une couche canal photosensible insérée entre deux électrodes. Ladite couche comprend un premier matériau qui absorbe la lumière et fonctionne comme support à trous. Dans le premier matériau, des nanoparticules d'un second matériau fonctionnent comme supports d'électrons. Les nanoparticules sont distribuées à l'intérieur de la couche canal photosensible de façon que le cheminement de la charge entre les deux électrodes à n'importe quel emplacement ne comprenne principalement qu'un seul nanocristal. La majorité des électrons étant canalisés vers les électrodes par des chemins conducteurs à un seul nanocristal, l'architecture résultante est qualifiée d'architecture à canaux.
