Abstract

The demand for solar cells has surged in this new era due to a shift away from high carbon dioxide emissions from energy sources such as petroleum and coal. Consequently, generating electricity using solar cells has become a focal point for conserving energy, garnering encouragement among people today, as sunlight is a renewable energy source that can help preserve Earth’s resources. Utilizing graphene in the electron transport layer may offer some advantages in terms of solar cell efficiency, but researchers must also contend with potential defects. This study briefly describes the effects of graphene thickness, temperature, and defect density in the graphene layer on voltage, current, and efficiency.
