This review focuses on different types of third-generation solar cells such as dye-sensitized solar cells, Perovskite-based cells, organic photovoltaics, quantum dot solar cells, and tandem solar cells, a stacked form of different materials utilizing a maximum solar spectrum to achieve high power conversion efficiency.
Third-generation photovoltaic cells are solar cells that are potentially able to overcome the Shockley–Queisser limit of 31–41% power efficiency for single bandgap solar cells. This includes a range of alternatives to cells made of semiconducting p-n junctions ("first generation") and thin film cells ("second generation").
All these schemes are sometimes called “Third-generation” solar cells outside Europe or the “Full spectrum project” in Europe . They are mainly aiming to reduce the losses caused by non-utilization of sub-band-gap photons and using the longer and shorter wavelengths of the Sun’s spectrum, giving extra energy to the carriers.
The need for large scale low carbon solar electricity production has become increasingly urgent for reasons of energy security and climate change mitigation. Third-generation solar cells (SCs) are solution processed SCs based on semiconducting organic macromolecules, inorganic nanoparticles or hybrids.
Modified third-generation solar cells, for example, tandem and/or organic–inorganic configurations, are emerging as fourth-generation solar cells to maximize their economic efficiency. This chapter comprehensively covers the basic concepts, performance, and challenges associated with third-generation solar cells.
These are termed third-generation solar cells and are the focus of this review. low cost. However, the stability of these SCs in different working conditions such as high has yet to be overcome.
