Single-junction organic solar cell smashes performance record

Organic solar cells(OSCs)have become a major focus in the field of the third-generation renewable energy thanks to their outstanding advantages of low cost,light weight and flexibility.In recent years,efforts dedicated to OSCs via material design,morphology optimization,and mechanism analysis have made remarkable progress,with power conversion efficiency(PCE)exceeding 19%.However,compared with inorganic solar cells(e.g.,Si or perovskite),the performance of OSCs remains limited by non-ideal exciton and charge transport.
