Potential Applications of Fullerenes in Photovoltaics

  • Unique Paper ID: 158715
  • PageNo: 576-578
  • Abstract:
  • In recent years, zero–dimensional carbon nanomaterials such as fullerenes have attracted significant attention from the scientific community due to their unique photovoltaic properties. Due to advances in synthesis, sorting, and assembly techniques, fullerenes are experiencing renewed interest as the basis of numerous scalable solar energy technologies. We present an extensive review of the usefulness of fullerenes in photovoltaic devices with a particular focus on the latest examples based on the highest purity samples. This review paper reports and explores the recent progress and prospects of fullerenes for solar energy applications. Furthermore, it will articulate the remaining research challenges confronting this field.
