Nature 617, 717–723 (2023) Cite this article Flexible solar cells have a lot of market potential for application in photovoltaics integrated into buildings and wearable electronics because they are lightweight, shockproof and self-powered. Silicon solar cells have been successfully used in large power plants.
To fabricate flexible solar cells, the approximately 2-mm-wide marginal region of these 60-μm textured wafers was blunted in 10 vol% HF:90 vol% HNO 3 solution for 90 s at room temperature. All wafers were cleaned using a standard RCA process to remove organics and metal ions.
Silicon solar cells have been successfully used in large power plants. However, despite the efforts made for more than 50 years, there has been no notable progress in the development of flexible silicon solar cells because of their rigidity 1, 2, 3, 4.
The storage stability and mechanical durability are two key parameters for the application of flexible organic solar cells (OSCs), which are considered a promising power source for wearable electronics.
Flexibility is the key characteristic of organic solar cells, providing their application in special areas. This review provides deep insights into flexible OSCs from materials, fabrication techniques to potential applications.
The fabricated modules have flexible properties. The lightweigh and flexible modules exhibit high reliability under both high temperature and high humidity conditions. Lightweight and flexible solar cell modules have great potential to be installed in locations with loading limitations and to expand the photovoltaics market.
