Organic solar cells (OSCs) are the emerging photovoltaic devices in the third-generation solar cell technologies and utilized the conductive organic polymers or small organic molecules for absorption of light in the broad region of the solar spectrum and for charge transportation purpose.
Organic solar cells are extremely lightweight and flexible, allowing engineers to easily install panels onto various surfaces, including curved and irregular shapes. This is important for the adoption of solar energy, as it can be used in more innovative ways, such as integrating it into wearable electronics.
Although they have their advantages, organic solar cells are still relatively new and have some drawbacks as the development of the technology continues. The biggest issue is their power conversion efficiency. The power efficiency of an OSC typically ranges between 8% and 12%, compared to the 20% to 25% efficiency of silicon cells.
Organic solar cells basically comprise the following layers: first electrode, electron transport layer, photoactive layer, hole transport layer, and second electrode. In general, a solar cell absorbs light, separates the created electrons and holes from each other, then delivers electrical power at the contacts.
