  Organic Solar Cells and its Characteristics
  Author(s): Gupta AGupta A
  
  This paper describes the characteristics of organic solar cell. Several characteristics impact on the conversion efficiency of organic solar cells was discussed. Recently, organic solar cells are attracting a lot of attention due to flexibility, low cost, light weight and large-area applications, and significant improvement in the power conversion efficiency. But the efficiencies of organic solar cells are still lower than crystal silicon solar cells. A circuit model of the solar cell provides a quantitative estimate for losses in the solar cell to interpret the characteristics of the solar cell. However, compared with inorganic solar cells, organic solar cells are lack of a three-dimensional crystal lattice, different intramolecular and intermolecular interactions, local structural disorders, amorphous and crystalline regions, and chemical impurities. Therefore, an appropriate model .. Read More»
