Smart Materials in Energy Storage Devices
Solar Cells
The development of civilization in international communities causes many critical environmental and economic issues in the generation of clean energy. New strategies are required to address or resolve these issues to reach the renewable energy goals of 2030. Among those, solar cell technology is one strategy for resolving these issues. Recently, researchers introduced various smart materials to the solar cell industry. The fabrication cost can be significantly reduced by using these smart materials. In this chapter, we will be giving a brief survey of solar cell technology emphasizing mainly the material aspect. Beginning with the importance or status of solar cell technology in the energy sector, the types of solar cells and prospective smart materials used will be presented. The smart materials can be used as an absorber layer, a buffer layer, or electrode materials in the thin‐film solar cell. Further, future trends and possibilities for tackling the challenges in the improvement of smart materials to make the solar cell industry very promising have been discussed in detail. Finally, we summarized key issues, cell concepts, and the state of the art of recently developed high‐efficiency solar cells.
