Face-To-Face Molecules Yield More Efficient Solar Panels

RALEIGH, N.C., April 8, 2014 — Organic solar cells could be made more efficient if the orientation of their constituent molecules gets more attention. Exciton transfer is the key to efficient organic solar cells: A team from North Carolina State University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill has found that the positions of differently shaped donor and acceptor molecules affect the way they transfer excitons to each other.
