“…Several acceptor molecules have been tested in bulk-heterojunction solar cells, among them conjugated polymers, fullerenes, carbon nanotubes, perylenes, and inorganic semiconducting nanoparticles. [90] So far, only derivatives of C 60 and C 70 have been reported to give highly efficient bulkheterojunction devices, despite the fact that the position of the HOMO and LUMO levels and the optical absorption are not ideal for most of the donor polymers. [60] A significant number of other C 60 and C 70 derivatives have been synthesized, to improve the processability, vary the HOMO/ LUMO levels, or influence the morphology in blends with conjugated polymers.…”

Solution‐processed bulk‐heterojunction solar cells have gained serious attention during the last few years and are becoming established as one of the future photovoltaic technologies for low‐cost power production. This article reviews the highlights of the last few years, and summarizes today's state‐of‐the‐art performance. An outlook is given on relevant future materials and technologies that have the potential to guide this young photovoltaic technology towards the magic 10% regime. A cost model supplements the technical discussions, with practical aspects any photovoltaic technology needs to fulfil, and answers to the question as to whether low module costs can compensate lower lifetimes and performances.

“…These solar cells are composed of a semiconductor, generally from transition metal groups which are in the size of nanocrystal range made of semiconducting materials. QD is just a name of the crystal size ranging typically within a few nanometers in size, for example, materials like porous Si or porous TiO 2 , which are frequently used in QD [32]. The structure of the QD solar cells are shown in Figure 4 [10].…”

“…With the advance of nanotechnology, these nanocrystals of semiconducting material are targeted to replace the semiconducting material in bulk state such as Si, CdTe or CIGS. This idea of the QD based solar cell with a theoretical formulation were employed for the design of a p-i-n solar cell over the self-organized in As/GaAs system [32]. Generally, the nanocrystals are mixed into a bath and coated onto the Si substrate.…”

The light from the Sun is a non-vanishing renewable source of energy which is free from environmental pollution and noise. It can easily compensate the energy drawn from the non-renewable sources of energy such as fossil fuels and petroleum deposits inside the earth. The fabrication of solar cells has passed through a large number of improvement steps from one generation to another. Silicon based solar cells were the first generation solar cells grown on Si wafers, mainly single crystals. Further development to thin films, dye sensitized solar cells and organic solar cells enhanced the cell efficiency. The development is basically hindered by the cost and efficiency. In order to choose the right solar cell for a specific geographic location, we are required to understand fundamental mechanisms and functions of several solar technologies that are widely studied. In this article, we have reviewed a progressive development in the solar cell research from one generation to other, and discussed about their future trends and aspects. The article also tries to emphasize the various practices and methods to promote the benefits of solar energy.

In the past few years, ternary polymer solar cells (PSCs) have emerged as a promising structure to simultaneously improve all solar cell parameters compared with traditional binary PSCs. The third component in ternary PSCs can play versatile functions to enhance the device performance. In this review, we summarize the design rules for fabricating high-performance ternary PSCs and introduce the recent progress in this field. In addition, the characterization methods for determining the role of the third component played in ternary PSCs are described.
