“…[ 119 ] Similarly, Kurukavak et al used boron‐doped CQDs which show better charge‐transport properties, improved crystallization and grain size. [ 120 ] Using a two spin‐coated deposition method, Wen et al fabricated an inverted planar structure of a PSC using CQDs as additives in MAPbI 3 film. [ 121 ] Investigation on the influence of CQDs on the topography of MAPbI 3 films indicated that perovskite films with 0.04 mg mL −1 have the largest gain size and the least grain boundary.…”

Organic–inorganic hybrid perovskite solar cells (PSCs) attract many researchers in the field of photovoltaic because of their high‐power conversion efficiency and low‐cost manufacturing. However, improper interfacial charge transfer, perovskite degradation, and poor stability are major concerns for their commercialization and scale‐up. Significant efforts have been made in recent years mainly by employing different strategies such as optimizing fabrication, developing novel materials, use of additives, and an interfacial layer in PSCs. Nowadays, carbon materials are widely recognized as promising candidates for alternative usage in PSCs because of their cost effectiveness, high conductivity, appropriate work function (5.0 eV), and low‐temperature sintering process. In addition, the highly hydrophobic nature of the carbon‐based materials prevents moisture penetration into the perovskite layer, resulting in enhanced stability. This review shows how effectively carbon‐based materials can improve the performance of PSCs. First, the different carbon materials such as graphene and its derivatives, fullerenes and its derivatives, carbon quantum dots, and carbon nanotubes are described. Subsequently, the role of these carbon‐based materials employed in electron‐transport layers, hole‐transport layers, and perovskite layers in PSCs is discussed. Thus, this review highlights the recent advancements made in carbon‐based PSCs and their role in improving the performance of PSCs.

“…Thin-film solar cells, which belong to the second generation of solar cells, are usually composed of materials including amorphous silicon (a-Si), cadmium telluride (CdTe), and copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS) [33][34][35]. Third-generation solar cells are manufactured by utilizing materials, such as organic molecules, quantum dots, and perovskite materials [36][37][38]. Fourth-generation cells are fabricated using graphene, carbon nanotubes, metal nanowires, and metal grid structures [37][38][39].…”

Solar energy is considered an environmentally friendly and never-ending renewable source of energy. Solar cells are an essential component of ecological sustainability. This energy can be harnessed for generating electricity without any pollutants even in remote areas. This renewable source of energy has been used to eliminate fossil sources. A solar cell converts solar energy into electrical energy through the photovoltaic effect. Scientists and engineers are continuously making efforts to enhance the efficiencies, decrease the cost of solar cells, and devise technology so that the maximum amount of sunlight is converted into electricity. These efforts culminate into four generations of solar cells – first, second, third, and fourth generations. Different models have been employed to conceptually analyze solar cells, which is also beneficial to enhance the performance of the solar cell. In this study, advancement in the generations of solar cells, their types, manufacturing processes, various models, and future aspects have been discussed.

“…The champion device's power conversion efficiency (PCE) rose from 10.4% to 12.7% when compared to the control device. This method of building inverted p−i−n PSCs with BN-CQD additives provides a straightforward means of creating stable and effective perovskite photovoltaics for use in the future 193. Yagız Coskun et al used toluene as the solvent and Calix[4] pyrrole (CP) as the carbon precursor to create water-insoluble, slightly amphiphilic CP-DOTs with a clean crystal structure and high quantum yield.…”

Carbon nanodots (CNDs), a fascinating carbon-based nanomaterial (typical size 2−10 nm) owing to their superior optical properties, high biocompatibility, and cell penetrability, have tremendous applications in different interdisciplinary fields. Here, in this Review, we first explore the superiority of CNDs over other nanomaterials in the biomedical, optoelectronics, analytical sensing, and photocatalysis domains. Beginning with synthesis, characterization, and purification techniques, we even address fundamental questions surrounding CNDs such as emission origin and excitation-dependent behavior. Then we explore recent advancements in their applications, focusing on biological/biomedical uses like specific organelle bioimaging, drug/gene delivery, biosensing, and photothermal therapy. In optoelectronics, we cover CND-based solar cells, perovskite solar cells, and their role in LEDs and WLEDs. Analytical sensing applications include the detection of metals, hazardous chemicals, and proteins. In catalysis, we examine roles in photocatalysis, CO 2 reduction, water splitting, stereospecific synthesis, and pollutant degradation. With this Review, we intend to further spark interest in CNDs and CND-based composites by highlighting their many benefits across a wide range of applications.
