Abstract

In the past decade, considerable efforts have been made to develop semi-transparent organic solar cells (ST-OSCs). Different materials and architectures were examined with the aim of commercializing these devices. Among these, the use of ternary active layers demonstrated great promise for the development of efficient semi-transparent organic solar cells with the potential for future applications, including but not limited to self-powered greenhouses and powered windows. Researchers seek alternative solutions to trade-off between the power conversion efficiency (PCE) and average visible transmittance (AVT) of ST-OSCs, with photoactive materials being the key parameters that govern both (PCE) and (AVT), as well as device stability. Several new organic materials, including polymers and small molecules, were synthesized and used in conjunction with a variety of techniques to achieve semi-transparent conditions. In this review paper, we look at the working principle and key parameters of semi-transparent organic solar cells, as well as the methods that have been used to improve the performance and stability of ternary-based semi-transparent organic solar cells. The main approaches were concluded to be spectral enhancement and increments in the transparency of the active layer through band gap tuning, utilizing novel organic semi-conductors, optical engineering, and the design architecture of the active layers.
