Organic solar cells: Structure, materials, critical characteristics, and outlook

This review surveys recent advances in the field of photovoltaic devices based on organic photoactive materials and used for converting solar energy into electricity. Different architectures of organic photovoltaic devices are considered: bilayer, bulk heterojunction, and tandem cells. Major groups of organic semiconductors are described together with some numerical data on their performance in solar cells. Possible ways of improving the efficiency of organic solar cells are discussed. The bibliography consists of 80 references.
