Claim 0:
1. An infrared-sensitive photovoltaic (PV) device comprising a PV layer sequence formed at room temperature,
the PV layer sequence comprising:
a glass carrier
a carrier electrode layer comprising silver, applied atop the glass carrier,
a first layer applied atop the carrier electrode layer, the first layer comprising aluminium particles in a plastics matrix,
a second layer applied atop the first layer, the second layer comprising an at least partially basic, glasslike layer having silicon-oxygen bridges in a glasslike network and further comprising partially base-solubilized aluminium particles as inorganic agglomerates, and
a transparent covering electrode applied atop the second layer and having contact electrodes,, wherein the aluminium particles in the first layer and the partially base-solubilized aluminium particles in the second layer are interconnected, forming a junction operative to convert incident electromagnetic radiation into electric current, the conversion efficiency being highest in the infrared range, with wavelengths extending beyond 5 micrometers.
