“…[1][2][3][4][5] One of their greatest advantages is their ability to be synthesized and processed in solution, [6][7][8][9][10] thereby substantially reducing manufacturing costs for thin-film production. [11][12][13][14] The importance of solution chemistry in the synthesis and characterization of LHPs has stimulated dedicated research in the past few years. [15][16][17] Many studies have contributed to clarify the role of solventÀsolute interactions in determining the crystal structure and the properties of the grown films.…”

“…Hansen solubility parameters (HSPs) have previously been employed to predict the solubility of organic semiconducting small molecules. [ 93–98 ] Rather than chemical modification of the semiconducting materials, which can increase the synthetic challenges and negatively affect the blend morphology of the active layer, solvent libraries can be searched to find solvent systems that are compatible with current OPV materials without negatively impacting device performance. An example of the effective use of HSPs is the identification molecular phase stabilizers for overcoming microstructure instabilities in high performance PCE11:PC[70]BM OPV.…”

Recent advances in the development of organic photovoltaic (OPV) materials has led to significant improvements in device performance; now closing in on the 20% efficiency threshold. Despite these improvements in performance, the commercial viability of organic photovoltaic products remains elusive. In this perspective, the current limitations of high performing blends are uncovered, particularly focusing on the industrial upscaling considerations of these materials, such as synthetic scalability, active layer processing, and device stability. Moreover, a simplified metric, namely, the scalability factor (SF), is introduced to evaluate the scale‐up potential of specific OPV materials and blends thereof. Of the most popular molecular design strategies investigated in recent times, it is found that the use of Y‐series nonfullerene acceptors (NFAs) and synthetically simple materials, such as PTQ‐10 and ternary blends, are most effective at maximizing the efficiency without negatively impacting the SF. Furthermore, the improvements that are needed, in terms of device processability and stability, are considered for industrial scale‐up and final product application. Finally, an outlook of organic photovoltaics is provided both from a perspective of important research avenues and applications that can be exploited.

Energy is the driving force behind the upcoming industrial revolution, characterized by connected devices and objects that will be perpetually supplied with energy. Moreover, the global massive energy consumption increase requires appropriate measures, such as the development of novel and improved renewable energy technologies for connecting remote areas to the grid. Considering the current prominent market share of unsustainable energy generation sources, inexhaustible and clean solar energy resources offer tremendous opportunities that, if optimally exploited, might considerably help to lessen the ever-growing pressure experienced on the grid nowadays. The R&D drive to develop and produce socio-economically viable solar cell technologies is currently realigning itself to manufacture advanced thin films deposition techniques for Photovoltaic solar cells. Typically, the quest for the wide space needed to deploy PV systems has driven scientists to design multifunctional nanostructured materials for semitransparent solar cells (STSCs) technologies that can fit in available household environmental and architectural spaces. Specifically, Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (PECVD) technique demonstrated the ability to produce highly transparent coatings with the desired charge carrier mobility. The aim of the present article is to review the latest semi-transparent PV technologies that were impactful during the past decade with special emphasis on PECVD-related technologies. We finally draw some key recommendations for further technological improvements and sustainability.
