A photovoltaic device and method for making it include organo-metallic molecules, such as M-Ph (metallo-phthalocyanines) and/or M-Pc (metallo-porphyrins), that interact with clusters, which are at the surface of a bulk metal, enhancing photovoltaic effect and increasing efficiency for transformation of radiant energy into electricity. Interaction of the clusters and the M-Ph and/or M-Pc increases quantum efficiency in transforming radiant energy into electricity. Methods are provided for treatment of a bulk metal, e.g., silver, gold or copper, from a metallic state to a state where clusters are formed on the surface of the bulk metal, and the organo-metallic molecules and a transparent conductor are applied to make the photovoltaic device. |
