“…When the exciton binding energy of LAMs is lower than the thermal energy, the planar thin-film structure can be used to construct the high-performance solar cells, such as the crystalline Si [6,7], crystalline GaAs [8,9] and crystalline InP [10,11] solar cells. When the exciton binding energy of the LAMs is higher than the thermal energy, the P:N nanocomposite thin-film structures have to be used to increase the photovoltaic performance, such as the organic bulk-heterojunction solar cells [12,13,14] and dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) [15,16,17]. Although the PCE of organic photovoltaics (OPVs) and DSSCs is significantly lower than that of the planar thin-film inorganic semiconductor-based solar cells, the cost-effective OPVs and DSSCs still received a lot of attentions in the past two decades.…”
