Several types of catalysts are used in the development of organic photovoltaics, including:
Metallic Catalysts: Transition metals like platinum and palladium are often used to catalyze reactions that improve the synthesis of organic semiconductors. Organic Catalysts: These include small organic molecules that can act as electron donors or acceptors, facilitating charge transfer processes within the cell. Enzymatic Catalysts: Though less common, enzymes can be applied to create biohybrid systems, potentially enhancing the sustainability of OPVs.
