The advent of new materials offers promising solutions for enhancing energy storage systems, improving energy efficiency, and mitigating environmental impacts. These advanced materials are characterized by their unique properties, which enable them to address the limitations of conventional materials and contribute to innovative technologies in various fields. In the realm of renewable energy, emerging materials are transforming photovoltaic technology. Traditional silicon-based solar cells are being complemented by new materials such as perovskite solar cells, organic photovoltaics, and quantum dots. Perovskite materials, known for their exceptional light absorption and charge transport properties, have demonstrated the potential for high-efficiency, low-cost solar cells with ease of fabrication. Organic photovoltaics, which use organic compounds to convert sunlight into electricity, offer flexibility and lightweight characteristics, making them suitable for a range of applications from wearable electronics to building-integrated photovoltaics.
