“…[ 69 , 70 ] Therefore, the use of mesoporous TiO 2 in combination with conjugated polymers as hole-conductors instead of the commonly used Spiro-MeOTAD has been considered in order to achieve enhanced light harvesting. [ 71 ] Coakley and McGehee reported remarkable effi ciencies of 1.5% for TiO2-P3HT HSCs in 2003. [ 72 ] Further improvements were possible by using additives such as 4-tert -butylpyridine (TBP) and lithium salts which are known to enhance I SC , V OC , and the power conversion effi ciency.…”

This Progress Report highlights recent developments in nanostructured organic and hybrid solar cells. The authors discuss novel approaches to control the film morphology in fully organic solar cells and the design of nanostructured hybrid solar cells. The motivation and recent results concerning fabrication and effects on device physics are emphasized. The aim of this review is not to give a summary of all recent results in organic and hybrid solar cells, but rather to focus on the fabrication, device physics, and light trapping properties of nanostructured organic and hybrid devices.

Hybrid solar cells based on conjugated polymers and inorganic semiconducting nanoparticles combine beneficial properties of organic and inorganic semiconductors and are, therefore, an exciting alternative to pure organic or inorganic solar cell technologies. Several approaches for the fabrication of hybrid solar cells are already elaborated and explored. In the last years routes have emerged, where the nanoparticles are prepared directly in the matrix of the conjugated polymer. Here, the conjugated polymer prevents the nanoparticles from excessive growth and thereby makes additional capping agents obsolete. This review focuses on in situ preparation methods of inorganic semiconducting nanoparticles in conjugated polymers in view of applications in hybrid solar cells. The details, advantages and disadvantages of the different in situ methods are critically examined and put in comparison to the classical route where pre-synthesized nanoparticles are used. Various key factors influencing the solar cell performance as well as future strategies for increasing the overall efficiency of hybrid solar cells prepared via in situ routes are discussed.

Hybrid functional materials, constituting both inorganic and organic components, are considered potential platforms for applications in extremely diverse fields such as optics, micro-electronics, transportation, health, energy, energy storage, diagnosis, housing, environment and the highly relevant area is Internet of Things (IoT). Material properties of hybrid materials can be tuned by modification of the composition on the molecular scale to produce smart materials. Cross-cutting approaches, to synergistically couple molecular engineering and processing allows to tailor complex hybrid systems of various shapes with perfect control over size, composition, functionality, and morphology. The detailed description and discussion of variety of hybrid functional organicinorganic materials and their contribution in the designing of specific modern technologies is the prime focus of this review. There is an enormous demand for hybrid materials to provide technological breakthroughs with the most sought after being the enabling of the IoT. Interest in the field of IoT will witness exponential growth over the next decade as markets realize the true potential of realtime data acquisition for various entertainment, knowledge dissemination, defense, environmental, and healthcare applications. Many of the well-established materials, such as metals, 1 ceramics, 2-4 or plastics 5,6 cannot fulfill all technological desires for the various new applications. In addition to the early interest in structural hybrid materials based on carbon-silicon networks, many recent efforts have centered on the design of functional hybrid materials which harness the chemical activity of their components. This approach has been successfully used in recent years in the design of hybrid polymers 7 with special emphasis on structural hybrid materials based on mixed silicon-carbon networks prepared by sol-gel methods [8][9][10][11][12] which can also entrap additional active species. 13 In this field the stakes are high and scientists aim at producing structural materials with properties between those of inorganic glasses and organic polymers.8 But the expectations go beyond mechanical strength and thermal and chemical stability. These new materials are also sought for improved optical, 14-17 and electrical 18,19 properties, luminescence, 12,20-25 ionic conductivity, [26][27][28] and selectivity, 29-32 as well as chemical [33][34][35] or biochemical 36-38 activity. Chemical activity is of core importance in functional materials. Sensors, selective membranes, all sorts of electrochemical devices, from actuators to batteries or supercapacitors, supported catalysts or photoelectrochemical energy conversion cells are some important devices based on hybrid functional materials.Hybridization is a multifaceted strategy. In some cases, conducting organic polymers act just as a solid polymeric support for active species, whereas in other hybrid systems the activity of organic and inorganic species combines to reinforce or modify each other. But in every case ...
