ABSTRACT

The production of new materials for solar cells has always interested researchers, as the synthesis, investigation, and application of materials with long-term stability, high energy efficiency, high photon absorption, and easy electron transfer are considered current directions. In the review article, the solar cells relevant for each period were analyzed, and their efficiency, base elements, preparation technologies, and shortcomings were emphasized. The selection of superior materials in the most relevant solar cells for prospects was highlighted.

Keywords: generations of solar cells, efficiency, nanomaterials.
