The two competitive production techniques used today are either wet solution processing or dry thermal evaporation of the organic constituents. The field of organic solar cells profited well from the development of light-emitting diodes based on similar technologies, which have entered the market recently.
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.
Among the discussed representative examples, particularly high PCE >17 % have been heeded by incorporating the NFAs such as Y6 and ITIC in OSCs. In the field of indoor photovoltaics, Organic Solar Cells demonstrate higher efficiency and potential compared to silicon-based solar cells and perovskite solar cells.

Organic solar cells (OSCs) have been recognized to have tremendous potential as alternatives to their inorganic counterparts, with devices that are low-cost, lightweight, and easily processed and have less environmental impact.
Organic solar cells (OSCs) present many appealing prospects and have the potential to realize this transition with their co-occurring technologies. The augmentation in their efficiency is essential for their triumphant commercialization.
They are efficient and durable, but can be expensive to produce. Organic solar cells, on the other hand, are made by depositing a thin layer of photovoltaic material onto a substrate, such as glass or polymeric material. They can also be made into a variety of shapes and sizes, making them more versatile.

How do organic solar cells work? The organic solar cell comprises a thin layer of organic semiconductor material. When sunlight hits the active layer, it excites electrons, creating electron-hole pairs. These electrons and holes are then separated and driven toward different electrodes by built-in electric fields within the cell. The electrons move toward the …
