Background: Solar cells play a crucial role in renewable energy, contributing to sustainable development and a clean environment. This review investigates the integration of Graphene, a groundbreaking two-dimensional carbon nanomaterial, in enhancing solar cell performance.
While graphene-based solar cells are not currently commercially available, some efforts are bearing fruit in regards to the use of graphene in auxiliary aspects of PV. One such example is ZNShine Solar's G12 evolution era series - comprised of a 12-busbar graphene module, 5-busbar graphene module and double-glass graphene module.
Concurrently, somatic treatment of graphene in the photovoltaic cells seems to be reasonable taking in consideration graphene-based transparent conductors of solar cells, as it may contribute to higher conductivity, efficiency, and mechanical extension.
It was recently reported that First Graphene is working with solar company Greatcell Australia on graphene enhancements to perovskite solar cell technology. Perovskites are a family of materials with a unique crystal structure that have potential for many applications, the most prominent of which is low cost, efficient solar cells.
