Since the beginning of the 21st century, triazine-based molecules have been employed to construct different organic materials due to their unique optoelectronic properties. Among their applications, photovoltaics stands out because of the current need to develop efficient, economic, and green alternatives to energy generation based mainly on fossil fuels. Here, we review all the development of triazine-based organic materials for solar cell applications, including organic solar cells, dye-sensitized solar cells, and perovskite solar cells. Firstly, we attempt to illustrate the main synthetic routes to prepare triazine derivatives. Then, we introduce the main aspects associated with solar cells and their performance. Afterward, we discuss different works focused on the preparation, characterization, and evaluation of triazine derivatives in solar cells, distinguishing the type of photovoltaics and the role of the triazine-based material in their performance (e.g., as a donor, acceptor, hole-transporting material, electron-transporting material, among others). Throughout this review, the progress, drawbacks, and main issues of the performance of the mentioned solar cells are exposed and discussed. Finally, some conclusions and perspectives about this research topic are mentioned.
自 21 世纪初以来，由于三嗪类分子具有独特的光电性能，它们已被用于构建不同的有机材料。在它们的应用中，光伏技术尤为突出，因为目前需要开发高效、经济、环保的替代能源，而这些能源主要基于化石燃料。在这里，我们回顾了所有用于太阳能电池应用的三嗪基有机材料的发展，包括有机太阳能电池、染料敏化太阳能电池和钙钛矿太阳能电池。首先，我们尝试说明制备三嗪衍生物的主要合成路线。然后，我们介绍与太阳能电池及其性能相关的主要方面。之后，我们讨论了不同的工作，重点是在太阳能电池中制备、表征和评估三嗪衍生物，区分光伏类型和三嗪基材料在其性能中的作用（例如，作为供体、受体、空穴传输材料、电子传输材料等）。在整个综述中，我们揭示和讨论了所提到的太阳能电池的性能的进展、缺点和主要问题。最后，我们提到了关于这个研究课题的一些结论和展望。
