Abstract: This review examines the vital role of interface materials in solar photovoltaic (PV) systems and lightemitting diodes (LEDs), emphasizing their critical functions in thermal management, electrical connectivity, adhesion, and environmental resilience. As renewable energy and solid-state lighting technologies evolve, the demand for advanced interface materials to enhance performance and durability grows.In solar applications, interface materials such as silicone-based compounds, epoxy adhesives, and phase change materials (PCMs) are crucial for dissipating heat and ensuring the longevity of solar panels. These materials excel in handling temperature fluctuations, safeguarding efficiency. In LEDs, conductive adhesives and metalized films are key to forming strong electrical connections and efficiently transferring heat from semiconductors, optimizing light output and performance in compact systems. The review also explores the environmental endurance of these materials, focusing on their ability to withstand UV exposure, thermal cycling, and harsh conditions. Advanced options, including nanomaterials and smart materials, show promise for improving thermal and electrical properties at critical interfaces. Integrating contemporary research and innovations, this paper highlights interface materials as pivotal in driving energy efficiency and operational longevity. It underscores their role as enablers of sustainable energy solutions and nextgeneration lighting technologies, advocating for continued research and development in this transformative field.
