The global transition to renewable energy has led to the demand for innovative sustainable materials to enhance photovoltaic technologies. Although conventional materials like silicon remain the primary component in solar cell manufacturing, their high cost remains a significant drawback, which has led to the search for new alternative materials. This study introduces a novel hybrid material that combines the unique properties of natural organic compounds with advanced nanoparticles to overcome the limitations of conventional solar cell materials. The proposed hybrid material integrates nanoparticles to improve the stability and energy conversion efficiency of organic compounds while utilizing their remarkable light-harvesting capabilities. By modifying the molecular structure and optimizing the interaction between the organic compounds and nanoparticles, this research modifies its optical and electronic properties, resulting in enhanced light absorption and efficient charge transfer. To ensure the hybrid material’s suitability for photovoltaic applications, advanced characterization techniques were used to analyze its optical, electronic, and structural properties. These advancements offer a promising pathway to develop cost-effective and high-performance sustainable materials for photovoltaic applications. This study contributes to the scientific field by introducing a sustainable and novel approach to improve and photovoltaic material to integrate the best of nature and technology. It integrates the best aspects of both the natural and synthetic worlds to develop a more effective and environmentally friendly solar energy conversion system. In addition to offering a basis for future studies on hybrid solar cell materials, this study is consistent with the global strategy of shifting toward renewable energy technologies.
