The evolution of photovoltaic cells is intrinsically linked to advancements in the materials from which they are fabricated. This review paper provides an in-depth analysis of the latest developments in silicon-based, organic, and perovskite solar cells, which are at the forefront of photovoltaic research.
Although the fundamental physics and chemistry of a particular solar cell do not change while scaling up the size of a cell, maintaining the electronic quality over large areas and achieving the high manufacturing yields necessary to be able to build modules are challenging and require the ability to reproducibly fabricate large-area cells.
After that, the solar cell was built by using gold thin film–coated selenium sheets . Moreover, the Bell Laboratory produced the first crystal PV cell in 1954, which had an efficiency of 4%, which means that only 4% of the solar energy was converted into electrical energy .
The cell is converted by metal interaction network, curtailing the distant electrons transport while casing a remote region of cell outward in order to lower the losses. These cells can only be capable of transforming just a slight part of the solar spectrum, i.e., longer wavelength parts) into electricity.
The introduction of PERC (passivated emitter and rear cell) technology and the development of bifacial solar cells are examples of innovations that have significantly boosted the performance of silicon-based solar cells .
PV solar cells can be fabricated by using various semiconducting materials, in which cell parameters play a crucial role in the photovoltaic solar cell’s performance. Hence, selecting appropriate materials becomes important to fabricate PV solar cells to achieve high performance with high efficiency at low cost.
