A research team has developed a highly efficient OHP-based photoanode for the production of hydrogen through photoelectrochemical water splitting. The team found that the addition of GTMACl to the OHP photoanode suppresses internal and external losses for an unprecedented efficiency.

Organic solar cells (OSCs), that make use of organic materials to transform sunlight into electrical power, are an attractive candidate for future photovoltaics. This is because of numerous of their preferable features, such as their light weight, flexibility, pliability, and, most significantly, high power conversion efficiency (PCE). Such top qualities make them optimal for a vast array of applications.

Silicon has actually long been the traditional product of selection for solar cells, which transform power from the sunlight right into power. Nonetheless, due to the fact that light absorption in silicon mishandles, solar cells made from silicon are thick, hefty, and also stiff. Furthermore, their production is pricey as well as complicated. To deal with these concerns, researchers have actually been searching for options to silicon.
