  • Abstract
    Indium tin oxide (ITO) is irrevocably used as electrode in optical photo voltaic cells. The shortage of indium mineral and also brittle nature of ITO make is extremely difficult to produce it from environment. However carbon and allotropes of carbon like graphine sheet or transparent carbon nanotube (t-CNT) can be used as highly effective electrodes in Organic Photovoltaic Cell (OPV). t-CNT is highly transparent carrier collector which can be synthesized easily by chemical vapour deposition (CVD) method. In this work we have explicated a comparison of different organic and in organic materials like graphene, ITO, t-CNT as anode of OPV. A new type of hybrid anode is also discussed in this paper which can be an ineluctable solution for highly efficient OPV. Single layer of t-CNT and ITO makes a hybrid photo charge carrier which collect nearly double photocurrent than conventional ITO. The efficiency of OPV with hybrid anode is nearly 1.74% where as the conventional ITO produce 1.27%.
