Sun is an inexhaustible source of energy capable of fulfilling all the energy needs of
humankind. The energy from the sun can be converted into electricity or used directly …

The interest in functional supramolecular systems for the design of innovative materials and
technologies, able to fundamentally change the world, is growing at a high pace. The huge …

In this review paper, we present a comprehensive summary of the different organic solar cell
(OSC) families. Pure and doped conjugated polymers are described. The band structure …

The status and problems of upscaling research on perovskite solar cells, which must be
addressed for commercialization efforts to be successful, are investigated. An 804 cm2 …

Photovoltaic (PV) technologies for solar energy conversion represent promising routes to
green and renewable energy generation. Despite relevant PV technologies being available …

At the end of last century, the possibility to use devices based on molecular components for
the construction of a robust large-scale solar electricity production facility seemed utopic. But …

Emerging photovoltaics (PVs) focus on a variety of applications complementing large scale
electricity generation. Organic, dye‐sensitized, and some perovskite solar cells are …

Copper‐oxide compound semiconductors provide a unique possibility to tune the optical
and electronic properties from insulating to metallic conduction, from bandgap energies of …

Despite the promise of thin-film Cu (In, Ga)(S, Se) 2 (CIGSSe) chalcopyrite and CdTe
photovoltaic technologies with respect to reducing cost per watt of solar energy conversion …

Absorbed sunlight in a solar cell produces electrons and holes. However, at the open-circuit
condition, the carriers have no place to go. They build up in density, and ideally, they emit …
