Iron Redox Chemistry, Environmental Impacts, Organic Photovoltaics (OPVs)Abstract
This study confirms the growing interest in organic specialized solar cells (OPVs) using polymers as the main active layer. OPVs have gained significant attention due to their high sustainable energy conversion efficiency and the numerous advancements in this field over the past five years. High efficiency and long-term durability may be achieved by mass production of polymeric solar cells, which are very easy to manufacture. This review addresses the most significant issues in this area to enhance OPV devices' solar cells, architecture, performance, stability, and the state of polymer structure development. Thus, research has focused on practical and affordable photovoltaic systems, such as third-generation solar cells, that are easy to produce, have high portable efficiency, and are durable. Many people are interested in studying organic photovoltaics (OPVs) since this study says they have better sustainable energy conversion efficiency than others. The active layer of these cells contains polymers. The processing and mass production of polymeric solar cells allow for great efficiency and actual durability, and they are also easy to work with. This review addresses the most significant issues in this area to enhance OPV devices' solar cells, architecture, performance, stability, and the state of polymer structure development.
