A hole transport layer may but need not be provided between said light harvester layer 3 and said current providing layer 6. A hole transport layer may comprise an organic hole transport material. In an embodiment, the solar cell prepared in accordance with the invention lacks a hole transport layer and/or the method of the invention lacks a step of depositing a hole transport layer.
The method of the invention may comprise the step of providing a conductive layer, for example a conductive transparent substrate comprising said conducting current collector layer 5. In some embodiments, the current collector comprises a material selected from indium doped tin oxide (ITO), fluorine doped tin oxide (FTO), ZnO—Ga2O3, ZnO—Al2O3, tin oxide, antimony doped tin oxide (ATO), SrGeO3 and zinc oxide, or combinations thereof.
