For Highly Efficient Organic PV Cells, Size Matters

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
RALEIGH, N.C., and BERKELEY, Calif., Jan. 8, 2013 — For highly efficient polymer-based organic photovoltaic cells — which are far less expensive to manufacture than silicon-based solar cells — size matters. To compete with energy from fossil fuels, photovoltaic (PV) devices must convert sunlight to electricity with a certain measure of efficiency. For polymer-based organic PV cells, scientists have long believed that the key to high efficiencies rests in the purity of the polymer/organic cell’s two domains — acceptor and donor. Now, however, an alternate and possibly easier route forward has been discovered. ...Read full article
