Advantages of Organic Solar Cells over Inorganic Solar Cells The advantages of organic solar cells (OSC) over inorganic solar cells are threefold [15, 16]. Firstly, in terms of the materials, limited silicon wafer technology leads to heavy, rigid, fragile, and bulky materials that are only available in a couple of colors.
Finally, the applications of inorganic solar cell are limited only to rooftops and open fields compared with the unlimited possibilities of OSC applications such as windows, screens, smart glasses, automotives, and the charging of mobile devices and laptops [17, 18, 19]. 2.2.
In this scenario organic/inorganic hybrid solar cells containing solution processible active organic materials and amorphous inorganic semiconductors are becoming popular because of their cost effectiveness and ease of fabrication.
Performance Properties of Organic Solar Cells The important electrical characteristics of OSC that are correlated to its performance are the open-circuit voltage, short-circuit current, maximum power point, fill factor, power conversion efficiency, and quantum efficiency.
Toxicity: Many of the materials used in organic solar cells, such as certain solvents and dopants, are toxic and can have negative environmental impacts. Developing non-toxic and sustainable materials and manufacturing processes is an important challenge facing the field. 5.
Optics plays a fundamental role in determining the absorption, transmission, and conversion of light within organic solar cells. Understanding and harnessing optical properties can lead to significant improvements in device efficiency and performance .
