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.

As part of his doctoral thesis, a young researcher at the Friedrich-Alexander University of Erlangen-Nuremberg has actually devised a means to make natural solar cells extra effective.
