The authors present the concept of “all organic Gratzel/dye sensitized solar cell” and demonstrate such a device using high Tauc band gap (above 2.5eV) amorphous carbon thin films doped with nitrogen (n type) deposited by microwave assisted surface wave plasma chemical vapor deposition and sensitized with copper-phthalocyanine thin films. Open circuit voltage and short circuit current density obtained are about 0.53V (versus Ag∕AgCl, reference electrode) and 8.52×10−6A∕cm2, respectively. The mechanism of photovoltaic action in such cells may be similar to dye sensitized photoelectrochemical cells using nano-TiO2∕ZnO porous thick films.
