An International Journal Devoted to Photovoltaic, Photothermal, and Photochemical Solar Energy Conversion Solar Energy Materials & Solar Cells is intended as a vehicle for the dissemination of research results on materials science and technology related to photovoltaic, photothermal and photoelectrochemical solar energy conversion.
Other materials used for the construction of photovoltaic cells are polycrystalline thin films such as copper indium diselenide, cadmium telluride, and gallium arsenide. A number of the earliest photovoltaic (PV) devices have been manufactured using silicon as the solar cell material and it is still the most popular material for solar cells today.
The materials that exist for this reason are polyphenylene vinyl, branched carbon fullerenes, and so on. Hegger, Shirakawa, and Mac Diarmid received the Nobel Prize in Science in 2000 for determining another polymeric material called lead polymer. Polymer solar cells are also divided into PU impact standards.
Solar cells are made of semiconductor materials; given the broad solar spectrum, their fundamental efficiency limit is determined by several factors (Fig. 1).
A number of the earliest photovoltaic (PV) devices have been manufactured using silicon as the solar cell material and it is still the most popular material for solar cells today. The molecular structure of single-crystal silicon is uniform. This uniformity is ideal for the transfer of electrons efficiently through the material.

The energy band gap of related materials (which is typically between 1 and 4 eV for organic materials) is defined by this energy partition. The highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO), which correspond to the π and π* orbitals, respectively, are the two energy levels equipped by the energy gap for π–π* …
