Title A name given to the resource Polymer-nanocarbon composites: a promising strategy for enhanced performance of organic solar cells Subject The topic of the resource Conducting/conjugated polymers; Conjugated polymer-nanocarbon composites; Nanocarbon materials; Polymer solar cells Description An account of the resource The exigency for sustainable and clean energy resources has led to profound research in development of various generations of solar cells, aiming to control the over-exploitation of fossil fuels and subsequently limit environmental degradation. Among the fast-emerging third-generation solar cells, polymer solar cell technology has gained much consideration due to its potential for achieving economically feasible, lightweight, flexible solar energy harvesting devices. As a predominant research area, at present, the major concerns regarding polymer solar cells include improving conversion efficiency, enhancing absorption bandgap in polymers, limiting photochemical degradation, and remediating low dielectric constant. Nanocarbon materials can be effectively blended with polymers and have been widely reported to enhance the performance of polymer solar cells owing to their desirable characteristics like high electrical conductivity, mechanical strength, thermal stability, non-toxicity, large specific surface area, flexibility, and optical transparency. In this review, we briefly discuss various conjugated polymer-nanocarbon composites, including polymer/graphene derivatives, polymer/graphene quantum dots (GQD), and polymer/carbon nanotubes (CNTs), elucidating their roles in the performance enhancement of polymer solar cells (PSCs).
