Vivek K. A, G. D. Agrawal

Abstract: Over the past decade organic solar cells dragged lot of attention and research interest due to its wide potential and advantages such as low cost, made of abundant earth materials, simple manufacturing techniques and ability to incorporate various technologies. Although a lot amount of research and development is required to effectively tackle the foreseen advantages. This paper reviews basic fundamental physics of organic solar cells, working mechanism and recent developments in the field.

Keywords: Organic solar cell, Plastic/Polymer solar cell, Organic solar cell mechanism, Organic solar cell physics
