Design Rules for Building Efficient Organic Solar Cells
LINKÖPING, Sweden, July 19, 2018 — Twenty-five researchers from seven research institutes in Europe, the U.S., and China have collaborated to draw up rules for designing high-efficiency organic solar cells. The design rules, which challenge some previously held ideas, have been published in Nature Materials. “We have formulated some rational design rules to minimize energy losses in organic solar cells," said Linköping University professor Feng Gao, who is spearheading the research. "Following these rules,
