We present results on p-i-n-type photovoltaic devices based on donor-acceptor organic small molecule blends and doped wide-gap charge transport layers. The doped transport layers are formed using a high vacuum co-evaporation deposition technique (i.e. co-sublimation of matrix and dopant). Solar cell devices have been fabricated based on a blend of zinc-phthalocyanine as donor (D) and fullerene (C-60) as electron acceptor (A) with doped charge transport layers. Optionally, a layer of neat layer of a perylene dye, perlenetetracarboxylic-bis-benzimidazole, is added to extend the absorption spectrum of the active layer system. The energy conversion efficiency of these cells under 1 sun, standard AM1.5 illumination (100 mW/cm(2)) is up to 1.9%. This represents an almost twofold improvement as compared to previously reported cells with similar active layer system in a conventional architecture. In this report, I-V characteristics, power conversion efficiencies, the dependence of short circuit current on incident white light intensity and absorption spectra of the active layer system are discussed.
