Abstract:

The conversion of energy through functional materials has gained significant relevance in recent years, particularly with the development of perovskites and graphene, which have demonstrated a substantial impact on photovoltaic technologies and energy storage. However, challenges remain, such as the stability of perovskites under adverse environmental conditions and the industrial scalability of graphene, highlighting the need for a bibliometric analysis to assess the state of research on these materials from 2010 to 2025. To achieve this, a systematic search was conducted in Scopus, applying specific selection criteria and utilizing tools such as VOSviewer and R Studio to visualize collaboration networks, bibliometric indices, and thematic evolution. The results reveal an exponential growth in scientific output, with Asian leadership spearheaded by Tsinghua University, reflected in citation metrics and publication quality. Perovskites have achieved efficiencies exceeding 25%, while graphene has enhanced its integration into storage devices. This bibliometric study provides key insights for guiding future research towards a more sustainable energy transition.
