| Abstract Scope |
Since the discovery of graphene in 2004, the utilization of 2D materials in solar cells has been on the rise. In addition to light-weight and good mechanical strength, 2D materials have high absorption coefficient, good chemical stability, tailorable electrical conductivity, high flexibility, superior optoelectronic properties, good tolerance to particle radiation and high transparency. The choice of use of these 2D materials in solar cell applications is determined primarily by the wavelength of the incident radiation. The rapid development of perovskite solar cells has benefited from the utility and integration of 2D materials and their functionalities in various forms within the device structure. 2D material solar cells offer the intrinsic advantage of reduced cost per gram – a huge advantage for space applications. In this review, various case studies of the deployment of 2D materials in solar cells and their simulation utilizing software packages such as PC1D and SCAPS will be presented. |
