Impacto do Grafeno na Eficiência dos Painéis Solares Fotovoltaicos: Uma Revisão Bibliográfica

Abstract

This work aims to carry out a comprehensive literature review on the influence of graphene on the efficiency of photovoltaic solar panels. Amid the growing demand for renewable energy, research into new materials to improve the efficiency and reduce the costs of photovoltaic systems has gained prominence. Through a bibliographic approach in academic databases, such as SciELO, ResearchGate, Academia.edu, Scopus and Google Scholar, relevant studies were identified that investigate the potential of graphene in various types of solar cells, including crystalline silicon cells, organic compounds sensitized by dyes and perovskites. The analysis of these studies revealed the multiple applications of graphene in optimizing the efficiency of converting solar energy into electricity, as well as reducing costs and environmental impacts associated with traditional materials. The results of this review highlight graphene as a key player in driving innovation in the field of solar photovoltaics. Its application in solar cells promises to boost technological advancement, making photovoltaic systems more accessible, efficient and environmentally sustainable.
