Organic solar cells: a short review

Abstract

On the earth's surface, the sun is a source of light energy. Electrical energy was produced when solar energy was converted into free energy charged within the particles of some materials. Organic solar cells (OSCs) have gotten a lot of attention because of their advantages like low cost and flexibility. It is semi-transparent, non-toxic, and ideal for mass production. OSCs with high-performance active layer materials, electrodes, and interlayers have made significant progress, as have novel device architectures. In particular, active layer material innovation allows for the possibility of achieving high performance in OSC by using absorbent materials; polymers are commonly used as absorbent layers to induce light absorption efficiency and device performance.
