Abstract
Organic and inorganic nanocomposites have been successfully used in the preparation of thin film organic solar cells with the view either to enhance the harvesting of solar energy or to assist in the charge transport processes. The optical absorption, conductivity and environmental stability of the nanocomposite are the main criteria that determine the suitability of the material for solar energy application. This chapter discusses the properties of a number of nanocomposite which are widely used in the preparation of various types of thin film solar cells.
