Title: Brief review of emerging photovoltaic absorbers

Abstract

Photovoltaic solar cells have recently made significant commercial progress and are on track toward meeting more than 1% of global energy demand. However, further research is needed on photovoltaic technologies that face no scalability constraints in generating more than 10% of the world's electricity. This 2017 article briefly reviews emerging photovoltaic absorber materials, focusing on research progress over the past 2-3 years. Particular emphasis is given to emerging solar cell absorbers -- for example, SnS, Sb2Se3, Cu2SnS3, and CuSbSe2 -- related to established solar cell technologies such as CdTe, Cu(In,Ga)Se2, and CH3NH3PbI3. Lastly, the general publication and performance trends are discussed, and the promising future research directions are pointed out.
