“…Different nanoscale structures like mesoporous inorganic films mixed with organics, alternating inorganic-organic lamellar structures and nanowire structures may be made. Hybride solar cells exist in many variations and combinations and thus constitute a very broad group of solar cells, where e.g., nanoparticle, nanowire, quantum dot, graphene, carbon nanotube, conjugated polymer, silicon, cadmium telluride, cadmium sulfide, perovskite, titanium dioxide and dye sensitized materials among others are being applied [86][87][88][89][90][91][92][93][94][95][96][97][98][99][100].…”

Abstract:Building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) offer an aesthetical, economical and technical solution to integrate solar cells harvesting solar radiation to produce electricity within the climate envelopes of buildings. Photovoltaic (PV) cells may be mounted above or onto the existing or traditional roofing or wall systems. However, BIPV systems replace the outer building envelope skin, i.e., the climate screen, hence serving simultanously as both a climate screen and a power source generating electricity. Thus, BIPV may provide savings in materials and labor, in addition to reducing the electricity costs. Hence, for the BIPV products, in addition to specific requirements put on the solar cell technology, it is of major importance to have satisfactory or strict requirements of rain tightness and durability, where building physical issues like e.g., heat and moisture transport in the building envelope also have to be considered and accounted for. This work, from both a technological and scientific point of view, summarizes briefly the current state-of-the-art of BIPV, including both BIPV foil, tiles, modules and solar cell glazing products, and addresses possible research pathways for BIPV in the years to come.

“…[ 35–39 ] Plasmonic MNPs with a large cross‐section of light scattering can provide longer path lengths, more effective light trapping, and improved efficiency of light incoupling in devices, as shown in Figure 2e,f. [ 40–44 ] In addition, the effects of extinction (absorption and scattering) are dependent on factors such as shape, size, colloidal distribution, particle spacing, and periodicity of the MNPs. Furthermore, the locus of the NPs inside the solar cell structure is critical for the optoelectronic performance of the device.…”

In this era of growing energy demand, the recently explored perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have evolved into a potentially viable alternative because of their cost effectiveness and high efficiency. Despite the immense research interest attracted by perovskite solar cells, their commercialization remains constrained by their instability and toxic nature. Among the different advanced solar cells technologies, the application of metallic nanoparticles (MNPs) with plasmonic effects is an alternative, practical approach to improve the stability and enhance the generation and transport of photons and charge carriers. Besides, MNPs improve light absorption and scattering in the active layer, in addition to the expansion of electronic properties by decreasing the binding excitation energy. Herein a synopsis of the importance of PSCs and the utilization of plasmonic NPs to improve their performance is presented. In addition, the existing endeavors to incorporate these plasmonic structures into indoor photovoltaic and semitransparent PSCs are reviewed.

“…Owing to the plasmonic light scattering, the NPs with a high scattering cross-section can reduce the reflective losses and provide an enhanced effective path length to increase light incoupling efficiency [133][134][135][136]. Plasmonic scattering efficiency can be tailored by the shape, environment, distribution and size of NPs.…”

Lightweight and low-cost organic photovoltaics (OPVs) hold great promise as renewable energy sources. The most critical challenge in developing high-performance OPVs is the incomplete photon absorption due to the low diffusion length of the carrier in organic semiconductors. To date, various attempts have been carried out to improve light absorption in thin photoactive layer based on optical engineering strategies. Nanostructureinduced light harvesting in OPVs offers an attractive solution to realize high-performance OPVs, via the effects of antireflection, plasmonic scattering, surface plasmon polarization, localized surface plasmon resonance and optical cavity. In this review article, we summarize recent advances in nanostructure-induced light harvesting in OPVs and discuss various light-trapping strategies by incorporating nanostructures in OPVs and the fabrication processing of the micro-patterns with high resolution, large area, high yield and low cost.
