The present work aims to explore and compare different organic charge-generating layers for the fabrication of organic photovoltaic cells (OPVs). With the growing interest in sustainable and efficient technologies, organic electronics, based on carbon-based molecules, emerges as a promising alternative. The research of this work was focused on the study of organic solar cell fabrication due to its advantageous characteristics, such as flexibility, transparency, reduced cost, and lower environmental impact compared to traditional photovoltaic technologies. Organic photovoltaic cells are part of the third generation of solar cells, which stand out for their ability to absorb a wider range of the solar spectrum. This is made possible by the use of organic semiconductors, which offer significant advantages, including the possibility of fabrication on flexible substrates and under ambient temperature conditions.The used methodology involved the fabrication of devices with different materials, such as F8T2, P3HT, C60, and PCBM, and with different thin-film deposition techniques, including spin coating, blade coating, and resistive thermal evaporation. Each technique was chosen and adjusted to optimize deposition efficiency and film quality. The results indicated variations in energy conversion efficiency depending on the combination of materials and fabrication methods used. The cell with a P3HT:PCBM blend showed the highest efficiency, demonstrating the potential for future optimization through the combination of materials that allow better charge transfer. This study contributes to the understanding and development of more efficient and sustainable photovoltaic technologies, with potential for large-scale applications. Advances in OPVs can lead to innovative solutions for the global energy crisis, offering an environmentally friendly and economically viable alternative for solar energy generation.
