A photovoltaic cell and devices using the photovoltaic cell are provided. In certain examples, the photovoltaic cell may include a first material disposed on a first electrode and effective to generate an exciton upon absorption of electromagnetic energy. In some examples, the photovoltaic cell may also include a second material electrically coupled to the first electrode and separated from the first material, the second material effective to receive the generated exciton from the first material. In other examples, the photovoltaic cell may also include a second electrode electrically coupled to the second material and electrically coupled to the first electrode. Solar panels and power systems using the photovoltaic cell are also disclosed. |
