With the swift surge of organohalide metal perovskites as a major player in the arena of emerging photovoltaic technologies, the field of traditional Hybrid/Organic Photovoltaics (HOPV) has been profoundly modified.

Since 2012, traditional HOPV technologies have been somehow lying in the shadow of the perovskite giant, mainly due to the efficiency gap between traditional HOPV (topping after 2 decades of research at 11− 14%) and perovskite solar cells.

Abstract
With the swift surge of organohalide metal perovskites as a major player in the arena of emerging photovoltaic technologies, the field of traditional Hybrid/Organic Photovoltaics (HOPV) has been profoundly modified. By traditional HOPV, here we mean dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs), bulk heterojunction or small-molecule organic solar cells (OSCs), and quantum dot solar cells (QSCs). These technologies dominated publications in basic and applied science journals up to 2012, when the perovskite storm started with the first reports of high-efficiency solid-state perovskite solar cells.1,2 Despite being initially based on a typical DSC architecture,3 perovskite solar cells have outperformed their DSC ancestor in about 2 years from their inception, demonstrating a high efficiency (>22%) in a variety of solid-state device architectures, ranging all the way from a planar to a mesoscopic heterojunction. Since 2012, traditional HOPV technologies have been somehow lying in the shadow of the perovskite giant, mainly due to the efficiency gap between traditional HOPV (topping after 2 decades of research at 11− 14%) and perovskite solar cells.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
