Thank u Sir.. for your good and helpful information. ur suggested materials may find very helpful in my future works..
Hi Khomdram,
I believe that graphene can be used as a transparent electrode on solar cells. In nanoscale, it fulfils most of the requirements for transparent electrodes. A monolayer of graphene has very high carrier mobility (10000 cm2/Vs) at a nanoscale. However, if you would like to fabricate it over large areas it results with lower carrier mobility. Moreover, its conductivity is still low compared to commercial alternatives which originate from the low free carrier concentration. We have some recent developments in literature for this unresolved issues. If these problems can be fully resolved, it will be a good candidate for transparent electrodes for solar cells (maybe also for OLEDs and OFETs) in near future.
All the best.
Adding to the colleagues above:
Graphine is used instead of metal to build Schottky junctions solar cells with semiconductors like Si and GaAs. To see how far is this successful please refer to the link: https://arxiv.org/ftp/arxiv/papers/1409/1409.3500.pdf
