Introduction to Plastic Solar Cell

Plastic solar cells, also known as organic

photovoltaics, are a type of photovoltaic cell
that uses organic electronics, a branch of
electronics that deals with conductive organic
polymers or small organic molecules, for light
absorption and charge transport.

These cells are lightweight, flexible, and can be

produced using low-cost, high-throughput
methods, making them ideal for various
applications such as portable electronics,
wearable technology, and building-integrated
photovoltaics.

Plastic solar cells have the potential to

revolutionize the solar energy industry by
Working Principle of Plastic Solar Cells

Plastic solar cells work on the principle of

absorbing light energy to create electron-hole
pairs in the organic semiconductor material,
which then generate an electric current when
these charges are separated and collected at the
electrodes.

The organic materials used in plastic solar cells

have tunable optical and electronic properties,
allowing for customization of the cell's
efficiency, absorption spectrum, and flexibility.

Efficiency rates of plastic solar cells have been

steadily increasing, with recent advancements in
material design and device architecture pushing
the efficiency levels closer to those of
