“…With the ever-growing importance of protecting the natural environment, renewable energy sources, including photovoltaic cells, have become increasingly popular [1,2]. So far, three generations of photovoltaic cells have been developed: silicon [3], so-called semiconductor thin-layer cells [4,5] and the third generation, consisting of dyes [6,7], organic cells [8,9], polymers and perovskites [10,11] cells.…”

This paper discusses the results for heterojunction solar cells based on three components (with fullerene acceptor), which are based on the pyrazoloquinoline derivative. Photovoltaic devices based on ternary systems are presented along with a model optimization for such mixtures. The device bulk-heterojunction type cells represent architecture ITO/PEDOT:PSS/ organic active layer/aluminum in various configurations of the active layers. The authors have analyzed the current-voltage characteristics of photovoltaic cells and determined the parameters.

Among many chemical compounds synthesized for third-generation photovoltaic applications, quinoline derivatives have recently gained popularity. This work reviews the latest developments in the quinoline derivatives (metal complexes) for applications in the photovoltaic cells. Their properties for photovoltaic applications are detailed: absorption spectra, energy levels, and other achievements presented by the authors. We have also outlined various methods for testing the compounds for application. Finally, we present the implementation of quinoline derivatives in photovoltaic cells. Their architecture and design are described, and also, the performance for polymer solar cells and dye-synthesized solar cells was highlighted. We have described their performance and characteristics. We have also pointed out other, non-photovoltaic applications for quinoline derivatives. It has been demonstrated and described that quinoline derivatives are good materials for the emission layer of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and are also used in transistors. The compounds are also being considered as materials for biomedical applications.

“…Lately, various papers have summarized the achievements attained in the field of the PV cells fabricated by various processing techniques (spin-coating, blade coating, spray coating, vacuum evaporation, screen printing, inkjet printing, etc.) [8,11,[34][35][36][81][82][83][84][85]. However, a review focused on the development achieved in the PV cells based on composite layers involving inorganic semiconductors nanostructures embedded in the organic materials can be very helpful in understanding the impact of different factors on the device performance and finding new approaches to overcome the current limitations in the upcoming years.…”

Continuing growth in global energy consumption and the growing concerns regarding climate change and environmental pollution are the strongest drivers of renewable energy deployment. Solar energy is the most abundant and cleanest renewable energy source available. Nowadays, photovoltaic technologies can be regarded as viable pathways to provide sustainable energy generation, the achievement attained in designing nanomaterials with tunable properties and the progress made in the production processes having a major impact in their development. Solar cells involving hybrid nanocomposite layers have, lately, received extensive research attention due to the possibility to combine the advantages derived from the properties of both components: flexibility and processability from the organic part and stability and optoelectronics features from the inorganic part. Thus, this review provides a synopsis on hybrid solar cells developed in the last decade which involve composite layers deposited by spin-coating, the most used deposition method, and matrix-assisted pulsed laser evaporation, a relatively new deposition technique. The overview is focused on the hybrid nanocomposite films that can use conducting polymers and metal phthalocyanines as p-type materials, fullerene derivatives and non-fullerene compounds as n-type materials, and semiconductor nanostructures based on metal oxide, chalcogenides, and silicon. A survey regarding the influence of various factors on the hybrid solar cell efficiency is given in order to identify new strategies for enhancing the device performance in the upcoming years.
