This review covers the different methods of graphene fabrication and broadly discusses the recent advances in graphene-based solar cells, including bulk heterojunction (BHJ) organic, dye-sensitized and perovskite solar cell deices.
The use of graphene in solar panels is not new, as it was created as a non-reflective covering for solar cells. Since researchers are pushing graphene's capabilities to gather energy from renewable sources, they have been able to generate thousands of microvolts while achieving a solar panel efficiency of 6.53 percent.
The paper also covers advancements in the 10 different types of solar cell technologies caused by the incorporation of graphene and its derivatives in solar cell architecture. Graphene-based solar cells are observed to outperform those solar cells with the same configuration but lacking the presence of graphene in them.
In the past two decades graphene has been merged with the concept of photovoltaic (PV) material and exhibited a significant role as a transparent electrode, hole/electron transport material and interfacial buffer layer in solar cell devices.
Key works related to graphene-based solar cells are reviewed and critically studied. Performance of graphene-based PVs is improved by functionalization, doping and oxidation. Flexibility of cells is improved with the use of graphene as transparent conductive electrode.
Graphene and its derivatives are effective in solar PV cooling with passive and active techniques. Focal spot temperature reduced by 20 % with graphene-coated ND filters. Graphene-enhanced PCM recorded lower PV temperature than other nanoparticles PCM. Graphene-enhanced TIM reduced the voltage drop by a maximum of 44 %.
