ABSTRACT
Advances in green nano-technologies is the main field under which the present paper series is firstly envisaged; therefore, advanced, research-progressive nano-science is aimed to shorten the distance from fundamental concepts to applications, devices and their implementations. It however would gather both physics and chemistry fundamental and applicative fields in dealing with solar/black body radiation as well as with new materials based on inorganic-organic hybrids, composites and electron quantum features (excitons, bondons, diffusion, electrical circuits, semiconductors, quantum dots, etc.). Such research is therefore equally highly necessary for both communities (physical engineering and chemical engineering) enlightening the dedicated international forums on quantum-dots based solar cells, as well as for giving further impetus to this new field of photovoltaics by gathering active international scientists in solar energy. The present paper offers a review on the progresses regarding the application of defective graphene and other defect-doped carbon nanostructures in the construction of solar cells devices towards introducing the semiconductor based graphenes. Competitiveness and eco-ecological aspects of such projects are also considered in a resumed scientific and innovative research.
