Intrinsic Conducting Polymers (ICP) or simply conducting polymers have rejuvenated the scientists and engineers alike with possibility of ICPs in designing photovoltaic devices, to an extent that polymeric photovoltaics present the tantalizing possibility of producing coatings that function as sunlight-harvesting paints that can be directly applied on roofs or even as an integral part of fabrics to produce electricity. In this article, the principles behind generating the photovoltaic effect in conjugated polymers, present scenario, and the exciting possibilities envisioned in the field is discussed and reviewed.
