Abstract

In recent years, increasing efficiency in organic solar cells is due to the bulk heterojunction concept. Hybrid solar cell (HSC) based bulk heterojunction is flourishing in the field of solar cell. This device is the combination of inorganic and organic materials. The efficacy of the power conversion efficiency has reached above 5% by following this combination method. This review provides general introduction, principle, working and characterization in the HSC involving the blend of organic/inorganic material as active layer. Different material combinations of the active layer and their performance are tabulated for better understanding of the HSC. This review ensures total compliance by discussing the fabrication technologies in terms of the HSC concept.
