Alkoxy replacement on asymmetric conjugated molecule enables high-efficiency ternary organic solar cells
A study team led by Prof. Ge Ziyi at the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (NIMTE) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has actually established an alkoxy-substituted asymmetric conjugated molecule as well as doped it right into the PM6: BTP-eC9-based binary organic solar cells (OSCs) as a 3rd component, leading to high-efficiency ternary OSCs with a power conversion performance (PCE) of over 18.1%.

Photon recycling: The secret to high-efficiency perovskite solar cells
Scientists from TU Dresden, in cooperation with researchers at Seoul National University (SNU) and Korea University (KU), demonstrated the role of the re-use of photons (called 'photon recycling') and also light scattering effects in perovskite solar cells, supplying a pathway towards high-efficiency solar energy conversion. The study has been published in Science Developments.

High-efficiency perovskite tandem solar cells making use of cross-linked layers
The power conversion performance (PCE) of single-junction perovskite solar cells (PSCs) has actually increased remarkably from 3.8% to 25.2% in simply a decade. As the quick development of PCE has been approaching the limit of its academic performance, making tandem solar cells by incorporating subcells with different bandgaps offers an avenue to surpass the Shockley-Queisser restrictions of single-junction solar cells.
