Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2005034171A2] A photovoltaic element, in particular, of application as solar cell for photovoltaic units, comprises a photon absorber (10). An electrically-conducting working element (12) is at least partly embedded in the photon absorber (10). The working element (12) is separated from the photon absorber (10) by means of a phase boundary. The working element (12) further comprises a higher electron mobility than the photon absorber (10). It was surprisingly discovered that the efficacy of said photovoltaic element is greatly increased.
