| DSSCs |
Easy fabrication,
Flexibility,
Versatility in low light condition, cost-effective |
Electrolyte leakage and
volatile, Stability concerns, Sensitive to low and high temperature,
Less durable |
(536−540) |
| PSCs |
Rapid improvement in PCE,
Low-cost fabrication, Solution Processable, Potential technology for
high PCE to compete Si-based SCs |
Less stable, Sensitivity
to moisture, Sensitivity to UV light, Some are hazardous because of
the inclusion of lead |
(541−545) |
| OSCs |
Flexibility, Solution processable,
Lightweight, Low-cost materials |
Lower efficiency, Poor stability
and durability, Some materials are Oxidizing |
(546−548) |
| QDSCs |
Tunable bandgap, Low production
cost, High efficiency, Multiple excitons generation capability, Solution
processable |
Some
quantum dots are very
toxic, Undesirable recombination, Low stability |
