Acceptor layers made from oligomers can enhance the efficiency of organic solar cells as well as ensure a lengthy operating life at the same time. This is the result of a series of intricate laboratory experiments conducted by products researchers at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU).

German scientists have actually established a perovskite PV cell with impressive stability by adding a bilayer of polymers that safeguards the perovskite from corrosion. This design assists to secure the exceptionally delicate perovskite user interface and also provides the cell with astonishingly high conductivity.

Organic solar cells are less expensive to generate as well as more flexible than their counterparts made from crystalline silicon, yet do not supply the same level of effectiveness or stability. During his doctoral thesis, Andrej Classen, who is a young researcher at FAU, showed that boosts in performance can be achieved using bright acceptor particles.
