Organic solar cell research has developed during the past 30 years, but especially in the last decade it has attracted scientific and economic interest triggered by a rapid increase in power conversion efficiencies. This was achieved by the introduction of new materials, improved materials engineering, and more sophisticated device structures.
In recent years, organic solar cells (OSCs) have advanced significantly because of rational material design and device engineering [ , , ], and the PCE of OSCs' has reached 19% [ 7 ].
In recent years, significant progress has been made in improving the performance and stability of organic solar cells, and there is ongoing research into new materials, device architectures, and manufacturing processes that could further enhance their efficiency and durability.
Overall, the future of organic solar cells looks promising, with ongoing research and development focused on improving their efficiency, stability, and sustainability. As these technologies continue to advance, they could become an important part of the global effort to transition to a more sustainable energy future.
