“…[57] Among the new-generation photovoltaic devices that convert solar energy into electricity, organic solar cells (OSCs) are being widely investigated owing to their low production cost, facile fabrication procedure, the abundance of raw materials, easy scalability, lightweight, excellent flexibility and environmentally friendly nature. [58][59][60][61][62][63] Despite having a lower projected cost of < $0.07/Wp relative to < $0.35/Wp for commercially available silicon solar cells, [64] the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of state-of-theart OSCs (18-25 %) [65][66][67] is still lower than that of commercially available silicon-based solar cells (above 26 %). [68] In addition, compared with silicon solar cells, OSCs suffer from poor long-term environmental stability, limiting their commercialization.…”

The transition to sustainable transportation has fueled the need for innovative electric vehicle (EV) charging solutions. Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) systems have emerged as a promising technology that combines renewable energy generation with the infra‐structure of buildings. This paper comprehensively reviews the BIPV system for EV charging, focusing on its technology, application, and performance. The review identifies the gaps in the existing literature, emphasizing the need for a thorough examination of BIPV systems in the context of EV charging. A detailed review of BIPV technology and its application in EV charging is presented, covering aspects such as the generation of solar cell technology, BIPV system installation, design options and influencing factors. Furthermore, the review examines the performance of BIPV systems for EV charging, focusing on energy, economic, and environmental parameters and their comparison with previous studies. Additionally, the paper explores current trends in energy management for BIPV and EV charging, highlighting the need for effective integration and recommending strategies to optimize energy utilization. Combining BIPV with EV charging provides a promising approach to power EV chargers, enhances building energy efficiency, optimizes the building space, reduces energy losses, and decreases grid dependence. Utilizing BIPV‐generated electricity for EV charging provides electricity and fuel savings, offers financial incentives, and increases the market value of the building infrastructure. It significantly lowers greenhouse gas emissions associated with grid and vehicle emissions. It creates a closed‐loop circular economic system where energy is produced, consumed, and stored within the building. The paper underscores the importance of effective integration between Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) and Electric Vehicle (EV) charging, emphasizing the necessity of innovative grid technologies, energy storage solutions, and demand‐response energy management strategies to overcome diverse challenges. Overall, the study contributes to the knowledge of BIPV systems for EV charging by presenting practical energy management, effectiveness and sustainability implications. It serves as a valuable resource for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers working towards sustainable transportation and energy systems.

“…In this respect, carbon-based materials, such as graphitic carbon nitride, carbon quantum dots, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and graphene (Jeon et al, 2018b;Nguyen et al, 2019;Ouyang, 2019;Hu et al, 2020;Pan et al, 2020;Qin et al, 2020;Subramanyam et al, 2020;Shin et al, 2021;Vercelli, 2021), have attracted considerable research attention due to their unique physicochemical properties, low-cost, natural abundance of carbon, non-toxicity and compatibility with large-scale solution synthesis (Delacou et al, 2017). Among these, CNTs are more appealing owing to their large specific surface area, tunable band gap, high optical transmittance in the visible region, competitive electrical conductivity, high charge carrier mobility, excellent flexibility and superior mechanical, thermal and chemical stability (Khan et al, 2018;Oseni et al, 2018).…”

“…In this regard, solar energy, a low-cost, renewable, naturally abundant and clean energy source, has attracted enormous research effort as a promising alternative to traditional energy sources ( Subramanyam et al, 2019 ; Zhong et al, 2020 ; Rabaia et al, 2021 ). Among the new-generation photovoltaic devices that convert solar energy into electricity, organic solar cells (OSCs) are being widely investigated owing to their low production cost, facile fabrication procedure, abundance of raw materials, easy scalability, lightweight, excellent flexibility and environmentally friendly nature ( Gusain et al, 2019 ; Lee, 2019 ; Li et al, 2020a ; Shah et al, 2020 ; Shoyiga et al, 2020 ; Liu et al, 2021 ).…”

In recent years, carbon-based materials, particularly carbon nanotubes (CNTs), have gained intensive research attention in the fabrication of organic solar cells (OSCs) due to their outstanding physicochemical properties, low-cost, environmental friendliness and the natural abundance of carbon. In this regard, the low sheet resistance and high optical transmittance of CNTs enables their application as alternative anodes to the widely used indium tin oxide (ITO), which is toxic, expensive and scarce. Also, the synergy between the large specific surface area and high electrical conductivity of CNTs provides both large donor-acceptor interfaces and conductive interpenetrating networks for exciton dissociation and charge carrier transport. Furthermore, the facile tunability of the energy levels of CNTs provides proper energy level alignment between the active layer and electrodes for effective extraction and transportation of charge carriers. In addition, the hydrophobic nature and high thermal conductivity of CNTs enables them to form protective layers that improve the moisture and thermal stability of OSCs, thereby prolonging the devices’ lifetime. Recently, the introduction of CNTs into OSCs produced a substantial increase in efficiency from ∼0.68 to above 14.00%. Thus, further optimization of the optoelectronic properties of CNTs can conceivably help OSCs to compete with silicon solar cells that have been commercialized. Therefore, this study presents the recent breakthroughs in efficiency and stability of OSCs, achieved mainly over 2018–2021 by incorporating CNTs into electrodes, active layers and charge transport layers. The challenges, advantages and recommendations for the fabrication of low-cost, highly efficient and sustainable next-generation OSCs are also discussed, to open up avenues for commercialization.
