Solar cells are devices that use the photovoltaic effect to convert the energy of light directly into electricity, producing electrical charges that can move freely in semiconductors. The process was discovered as early as 1839, but the first solar cell was introduced by Bell executives in 1954. The first generation of solar cells was produced on silicon wafers either using monocrystalline or polycrystalline silicon crystals. The most recent and promising generation of solar cells consists of concentrated solar cells, polymer-based solar cells, dye-sensitized solar cells, nanocrystal-based solar cells, and perovskite-based solar cells. Over the last decades, conducting polymers have revealed to be ideal candidates for the photovoltaics in solar cells, and the use of CNTs to improve their efficiency has been investigated. The addition of CNTs improves the charge conduction, the optoelectronic properties, and the thermal and chemical properties of the cells. In this review we will discuss effect of dust on solar cells performance.
