Abstract

In one aspect, optoelectronic devices are described herein. In some embodiments, an optoelectronic device comprises a fiber core, a radiation transmissive first electrode surrounding the fiber core, at least one photosensitive inorganic layer surrounding the first electrode and electrically connected to the first electrode, and a second electrode surrounding the inorganic layer and electrically connected to the inorganic layer. In some embodiments, the device comprises a photovoltaic cell.

First claim

That which is claimed is:

1. A photovoltaic device comprising:
a fiber core;
a radiation transmissive first electrode surrounding the fiber core;
at least one photosensitive amorphous silicon layer surrounding the first electrode and electrically connected to the first electrode, the photosensitive amorphous silicon layer comprising hydrogen passivated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) and having a thickness less than 500 nm; and
a non-radiation transmissive second electrode surrou…
