“…As a result, a flexible transparent electrode (FTE) with 35.2 Ω.sq −1 sheet resistance and >90% transmittance (excluding PET substrate) was fabricated, which showed 15.21% PCE in small-area OSCs [75]. In another work, Chen et al further introduced the 'reinforced concrete' strategy by adding polydopamine, which reduces Ag + ions to form Ag-nanoparticles (AgNPs) and resulted in a AgNW:PDA:AgNP FTE, which showed a very high efficiency of 17.07% for flexible OSCs, but more importantly, these flexible OSCs maintained >80% of their initial PCE after 10 000 bending cycles [76]. A search for alternative electrodes to be used on flexible substrates is underway, but the PCEs lag behind compared to the robust glass/ITO substrates due to sheet resistance of the flexible substrate as well as the difficulty in forming a uniform photoactive film on large-scale flexible substrates.…”

Organic Solar Cells (OSCs) have reached an outstanding certified power conversion efficiency (PCE) of over 19% in single junction and 20% in tandem architecture design. Such high PCEs have emerged with outstanding Y-shaped Y6 non-fullerene acceptor (NFA), together with PM6 electron donor polymers. With PCEs on the rise for small-area OSCs; large-area OSC sub-modules still lack in achieving such high PCEs, and the highest certified PCE reported so far is ~12% having an area of 58 cm2. To fabricate efficient large-area OSCs, new custom-designed NFAs for large-area are imminent along with the improvements in the sub-module fabrication platforms. Moreover, the search for stable yet efficient OSCs is still in progress. In this review, the progress of small-area OSCs has been presented with reference to the advancement in the chemical structure of NFAs and donor polymers. Lastly, the life-cycle assessment of OSCs has been presented and the energy payback time of the efficient and stable OSCs has been discussed and finally, an outlook for the OSCs is given.

“…This makes them suitable for use as transparent electrodes in solar cells. Several different technologies can be used to create solar cells using AgNW electrodes, including dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) [ 41 , 42 ], organic solar cells (OSCs) [ 43 , 44 ], and hybrid perovskite solar cells (HPSCs) [ 45 , 46 ]. These solar cells work by absorbing light with photovoltaic materials, which leads to the formation of an electron hole pair.…”

Indium tin oxide (ITO) is currently the most widely used material for transparent electrodes; however, it has several drawbacks, including high cost, brittleness, and environmental concerns. Silver nanowires (AgNWs) are promising alternatives to ITO as materials for transparent electrodes owing to their high electrical conductivity, transparency in the visible range of wavelengths, and flexibility. AgNWs are effective for various electronic device applications, such as touch panels, biosensors, and solar cells. However, the high synthesis cost of AgNWs and their poor stability to external chemical and mechanical damages are significant challenges that need to be addressed. In this review paper, we discuss the current state of research on AgNW transparent electrodes, including their synthesis, properties, and potential applications.
