TCO‐free thin film solar cell exist in three configurations: i) front‐side illuminated planar, ii) back‐side illuminated planar, and iii) fiber‐shaped solar cells (FSSCs). On page 8855, W. Guo, X. Y. Liu, and co‐workers review the advances in the field, focusing on flexible TCO‐free TCEs, including carbon nanotubes (CNTs), graphene, metallic NW/nanotroughs, metallic grids, conducting polymers, metallic fiber and carbon based fibers.
