Carbon nanoforms, namely fullerenes, CNTs, graphene and graphene quantum dots reveal appealing properties to be used as interesting active materials for the preparation of photovoltaic devices. The experimental findings evidence that far from being a myth, these carbon materials are becoming a reality with remarkable energy conversion efficiencies.
