| description | The rapid development of photovoltaic technology has driven the search for novel materials that can improve the cost-effectiveness and efficiency of solar cells. Organic semiconductors offer unique optical tunability and transparency, allowing customization for the absorption of specific optical spectra like near-infrared radiation. Through the molecular engineering of electron donors and acceptors, these materials can be optimized for targeted optical selectivity. This adaptability enables the development of efficient energy-harvesting devices tailored for specific spectral regions. Consequently, organic semiconductors present a promising avenue for specialized applications such as semi-transparent organic solar cells. This review offers a detailed summary of the latest developments in novel organic semiconductor materials, focusing on design principles and synthesis of materials in the context of semi-transparent organic solar cells. Optimization of molecular architecture, photovoltaic performance, and the optoelectronic properties of these materials has been explored, highlighting their potential for next-generation solar energy conversion. |
