Abstract: We present a review of the emerging class of hybrid solar cells based on
organic-semiconductor (Group IV, III-V), posites, which states separately
from dye synthesized, polymer-metal oxides anic-anic (Group II-VI)
posite photovoltaics. The structure of such hybrid prises of anic
active material (p-type) deposited by coating, printing or spraying technique on the surface
of bulk or nanostructured semiconductor (n-type) forming a heterojunction between the
two materials. ponents include various photosensitive monomers (.,
phtalocyanines or porphyrines), conjugated polymers, and carbon nanotubes. Mechanisms
of the charge separation at the interface and their transport are discussed. Also,
perspectives on the future development of such hybrid cells parative analysis with
other classes of photovoltaics of third generation are presented.

1. Introduction
To date, organic anic-anic photovoltaics (PVs) (third generation solar cells) continue to
attract great attention from the munity, due to their promising features such as low fabrication
cost, flexibility and light weight. Third generation solar cells follows the second generation (thin film
