Binary oxide ceramics have emerged as key materials in solar energy research due to their versatility, chemical stability, and tunable electronic properties. This study presents a comparative analysis of seven prominent oxides (TiO2, ZnO, Al2O3, SiO2, CeO2, Fe2O3, and WO3), focusing on their functional roles in silicon, perovskite, dye-sensitized, and thin-film solar cells. A bibliometric analysis covering over 50,000 publications highlights TiO2 and ZnO as the most widely studied materials, serving as electron transport layers, antireflective coatings, and buffer layers. Al2O3 and SiO2 demonstrate highly specialized applications in surface passivation and interface engineering, while CeO2 offers UV-blocking capability and Fe2O3 shows potential as an absorber material in photoelectrochemical systems. WO3 is noted for its multifunctionality and suitability for scalable, high-rate processing. Together, these findings suggest that binary oxide ceramics are poised to transition from supporting roles to essential components of stable, efficient, and environmentally safer next-generation solar cells.
