Molecular Coating Outperforms Traditional Material to Improve Solar Cell Performance
THUWAL, Saudi Arabia, June 22, 2021 — Experiments showed that a coating just one molecule thick can significantly enhance the performance of an organic photovoltaic cell (OPV). In performance, the coating outperformed PEDOT:PSS, which is the leading material used for the same task. In addition to improving the performance of OPVs, the single-molecule coating developed by scientists at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) could be used to improve other devices that rely on organic molecules, such as LEDs and
