Abstract
Solar cells have a great promise to solve the world energy crises in a sustainable way. In recent years, numerous efforts have been devoted on different aspects and performance of solar cells with a common task of achieving higher efficiency to compete with the traditional energy resources. Cost-effectiveness and enhancing power conversion efficiency are the major tasks in the photovoltaic technology. New field of nanotechnology has developed promising possibilities to improve the quality, stability, and performance of solar cells. Nanomaterials can contribute to solar cell design in different ways, which play an important role in their performances. Developments of nanomaterials-based solar cells could reduce the cost and stability for bulk power generation as well as enhance the power conversion efficiency. This book chapter reviews the performances of traditional solar cells and focuses on different contribution of advanced nanomaterials in solar cell advancement.
