Concurrently, somatic treatment of graphene in the photovoltaic cells seems to be reasonable taking in consideration graphene-based transparent conductors of solar cells, as it may contribute to higher conductivity, efficiency, and mechanical extension.
Graphene-based solar cell architectures, such as graphene-silicon heterojunction and graphene-organic solar cells, hold great promise for enhanced efficiency and cost reduction. However, a key challenge lies in optimizing the interface between graphene and adjacent materials.
The energy band diagram illustrates the energy levels of various materials used in graphene-based solar cells, including FTO, TiO₂, CH₃NH₃PbI₃, reduced graphene oxide (RGO), and Au. It depicts charge transport pathways, highlighting graphene’s role in facilitating electron movement and reducing recombination losses.
Graphene promises to transform solar panels from rigid, inefficient panels into lightweight, ultra-efficient energy-generating surfaces that could be integrated into everything from building facades to wearable technology.
The properties of graphene, for instance, high electron mobility and strength, interact with solar cell materials quite differently, underscoring the importance of compatibility and stability at the interface between the graphene and the rest of the materials in order to forestall degradation and ensure the prolonged life of the solar cell .
Unlike traditional silicon-based solar panels, graphene-based panels could be incredibly thin, transparent, and flexible. This could lead to solar cells integrated into windows, clothing, or curved surfaces—areas previously impossible with conventional solar technology.
