Abstract

The need of energy is most discussed issue these days and among various renewable energy sources, solar energy is most reliable one. Collection of solar energy and then conversion to electricity requires semiconducting materials. After inorganic junctions, Organic materials have got a pretty attention because of many advantages of them. In this review we discussed and compiled a variety of organic semiconductors, their synthesis, structure, properties and future scopes for the potential applications in photovoltaic devices. The review will serve as a compiled note for the researchers working in the field of flexible electronics..
