A photovoltaic cell is composed of several layers in which the active layer is sandwiched between the top and bottom metal contact layers to collect carriers (electrons and holes). In general, the active layer consists of n-type and p-type semiconductors, which form a depletion region to prevent carrier recombination.
Provided by the Springer Nature SharedIt content-sharing initiative Colloidal quantum dots (CQDs) have attracted attention as a next-generation of photovoltaics (PVs) capable of a tunable band gap and low-cost solution process. Understanding and controlling the surface of CQDs lead to the significant development in the performance of CQD PVs.
BiOI has been being employed as an absorber layer in the photovoltaic cell since the band gap is about 1.7 – 1.8 eV which is matching with the solar light spectrum. Many works of literature endorse that most of the reported cell structure is electrochemical-based cell using BiOI/electrolyte junction so far [ 27, 28 ].
This review presents a comprehensive overview of emerging active materials for solar cells, covering fundamental concepts, progress, and recent advancements. The key breakthroughs, challenges, and prospects will be highlighted with a focus on solar cells based on organic materials, perovskite materials, and colloidal quantum dots.
Promising materials in this context include organic/polymer compounds, colloidal quantum dots, and nanostructured perovskites. The development of new materials utilized in active layers for solar cells has been a topic of interest for researchers, such as organic materials, polymer materials, colloidal quantum dots, and perovskites.
