| 1. A cell, comprising:
a substrate,
first electrode,
a photovoltaically active layer comprising an organic material, and
a second electrode made of a predominantly organic material,
wherein:
the first electrode is between the substrate and the photovoltaically active layer and has a first work function,
the photovoltaically active layer is between the first and second electrodes,
the second electrode is opaque and has a second work function higher than the first work function, and
the cell is a photovoltaic cell.
