Abstract: In this study, hybrid bulk heterojunction (BHJ) organic solar cells with a poly(3-hexylthiophene-2,5-diyl)(P3HT):(6,6)-phenyl C_{61}-butyric acid methyl ester (PC_{61}BM) active layer, a poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-poly(styrenesulfonate)(PEDOT:PSS) buffer layer, and an electrochemically deposited zinc oxide (ZnO) n-type inorganic layer were produced. The PET/ITO/ZnO/PEDOT:PSS/P3HT:PC_{61}BM/Al device was manufactured and tested under solar illumination (AM1.5G, 100 mW/cm^2).
