Abstract
The present invention relates generally to the field of photovoltaic devices and particularly to the organic photovoltaic layer. More specifically, the organic photovoltaic layer comprises at least one organic compound of the general structural formula where Hetand Hetare predominantly planar polycyclic molecular systems; A is a bridging group providing a lateral bond of the molecular systems; and X is a counterion from a list comprising H+, Li+, Na+, K+, NH4+, Ba++, Zn++, Sr++, Ca++, Mg++, and any combination thereof. The photovoltaic layer is formed of column-like or planar supramolecules, it has absorption of electromagnetic radiation in at least one predetermined spectral subrange within a wavelength range from 400 to 3000 nm, and the molecular system Het1, the bridging group A, and the molecular system Het2 form a donor-bridge-acceptor system providing dissociation of excited electron-hole pairs.
