Abstract
In recent decades, carbon-based semiconductor nanomaterials have been exploited to improve the conversion of solar energy. Carbon nanomaterials such as fullerene, carbon nanotubes, and graphene provide promising results and contribute to high efficiency in various types of the third generation of solar cells. Carbon-based materials have been shown to have positive effects on the efficiency of solar cells. In this chapter, we briefly describe the optoelectronic properties of carbon and its derivates, and their implications in various solar cell type such as organic solar cells, dye-sensitized solar cells, and perovskite solar cells. Finally, we discuss the future perspectives for using all-carbon solar cells.
