title: A high voltage organic-inorganic hybrid photovoltaic cell sensitized with metal-ligand interfacial complexes.
abstract: A thin solid-state photovoltaic cell of organic-inorganic hetero junctions was fabricated by forming a dye-metal charge-transfer complex as the sensitizer monolayer at the interface of crystalline state organic and inorganic semiconductors. The organic-inorganic hybrid thin-film photocell generates a high photovoltage of 1.2 V, yielding an energy conversion efficiency of up to 1.5%.
