The first generation of solar cell technologies is based on crystalline structures that use silicon (Si) to produce solar cells, which are then assembled into solar modules (Figure 5). Despite its longstanding presence, this technology remains relevant and is continuously being refined to improve its performance and efficiency.
These pigments have a great capacity to absorb solar energy within the spectrum, which makes them well-suited for heating applications. Solar cells are generally classified into three main generations based on their technology and stage of market development (Table 4).
The worldwide technical capacity of solar energy significantly surpasses the current overall primary energy requirement. This review explores the role of nanomaterials in improving solar energy harvesting systems, including solar collectors, fuel cells, photocatalytic systems, and photovoltaic cells.
The proposed solar cell consists of a solid layer of lead sulfide (PbS) treated with PbS-TBAI (tetrabutylammonium iodide) as absorber layer and PbS CQD treated with 1,2-ethanedithiol (PbS-EDT) as hole transport layer (HTL).
In a PV/T system, most of the solar energy is either absorbed by the solar cell or reflected. The incident radiation raises the temperature of the solar cell, resulting in consequences such as heightened reverse saturation current, diminished open-circuit voltage, and a decline in the energy gap (Cui and Zhu, 2012).
