Being solution-processable and fiber-shaped, CNTs can easily be integrated into different types of solar cells with distinct functions. For example, as a photoactive layer in organic solar cell, a transparent electrode in silicon and perovskite solar cells or as counter electrode in dye-sensitized solar cells. [15] .
The journey of solar panel technology has placed a big spotlight on solar cell components. These parts are key in the quest for more energy efficiency. Silicon is the top choice for best materials for solar panels, taking up 95% of the market. Its success is due to its durability and power output, lasting over 25 years and keeping 80% efficiency.
Major determinators in distinguishing photovoltaic materials from the larger family of photosensitive materials are conversion efficiency, energy payback, and cost-per-kilowatt.
Recent advances in different types of photosensitizers such as ruthenium, porphyrin, and organic sensitizers are reviewed. The design strategies to develop highly efficient sensitizers and their photovoltaic performance with co-sensitization under 1-sun and artificial light conditions are discussed.
Photosensitive materials of this type provide light absorption and charge transport within the same material. Photons are absorbed within the region covered by the electrical field or in the neighbourhood where charge carriers can still diffuse into the field-determined region.
It is remarkable that, of the thin-film photosensitive materials developed for photovoltaics, only silicon is considered to be: (i) environmentally compatible and (ii) sufficiently abundant for a photovoltaic market, which is expected to become very large by mid-century.
Silicon is the predominant material used in most solar panels today, but new materials like perovskites are emerging. Crystalline silicon solar cells come in two main types: more efficient but expensive monocrystalline and cheaper but less efficient polycrystalline.
