Scientist recommend new approach for interfacial adjustment of organic solar cells
Surface area energy (γs) plays a key function in the development of bulk-heterojunction (BHJ) films in organic solar cells fabricated by solution process. The miscibility of BHJ films can be forecasted by the difference of surface area power in between donor and acceptor.

New understandings right into energy loss open doors for up-and-coming solar tech
Organic solar cells are an emerging technology with a great deal of promise. Unlike the ubiquitous silicon solar panel, they have the possible to be lightweight, flexible, and present a variety of colors, making them particularly eye-catching for urban or façade applications. Nonetheless, continued innovations in device performance have been slow as researchers work to recognize the fundamental processes underlying exactly how organic solar cells operate.

NEW 'SUN CLOCK' DISCLOSES THAT SOLAR TASK TURNS OFF AND ALSO ON WITH UNUSUAL PRECISION
Solar scientists have actually taken a mathematical method used by Earth researchers to assess cyclic phenomena, such as the ups and downs of ocean tides, and used it to the confounding irregularity of cycles on the Sun. The outcome is a stylish "Sun clock" that shows that solar task starts and stops on a far more specific routine than could be recognized when taking a look at monitorings of the Sun in the standard method-- plotted linearly with time.
