Photovoltaic generation has stepped up within the last decade from outsider status to one of the important contributors of the ongoing energy transition, with about 1.7% of world electricity provided by solar cells. Progress in materials and production processes has played an important part in this development. Yet, there are many challenges before photovoltaics could provide clean, abundant, and cheap energy. Here, we review this research direction, with a focus on the results obtained within a Japan-French cooperation program, NextPV, working on promising solar cell technologies. The cooperation was focused on efficient photovoltaic devices, such as multijunction, ultrathin, intermediate band, and hot-carrier solar cells, and on printable solar cell materials such as colloidal quantum dots.
在过去十年中，光伏发电已从边缘地位跃升至当前能源转型的重要贡献力量之一，太阳能电池提供了全球约1.7%的电力。材料和生产工艺的进步在这一发展过程中发挥了重要作用。然而，在光伏发电能够提供清洁、充足且廉价的能源之前，仍面临诸多挑战。在此，我们回顾这一研究方向，重点关注在日法合作项目NextPV中取得的成果，该项目致力于开发有前景的太阳能电池技术。合作聚焦于高效光伏器件，如多结、超薄、中间带和热载流子太阳能电池，以及可印刷太阳能电池材料，如胶体量子点。
