Flexible Solar Cell for Wearable Electronics Produced by Green Printing Process
Fengyu Li and Yanlin Song from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, along with their co-workers, have designed high-performance flexible perovskite solar cells (PSCs) for wearable electronics using green printing technology.
Aqueous-Processed Hole-Transport Layer for High-Performance Solar Cells
Thomas D. Anthopoulos and colleagues report a simple, environmentally-friendly processing method for copper(I) thiocyanate (CuSCN), a next-generation hole-transport layer (HTL) for organic and hybrid perovskite solar cells. The power conversion efficiency reaches 17.5%—a remarkable improvement over conventional polymer HTLs.
Reducing Light-Induced Burn-In in Polymer Solar Cells
Jordi Matorell and co-workers achieve a longer lifetime of polymer solar cells by addressing the issue and mechanism of UV-induced “burn-in”, a phenomenon linked to rapid degradation of electron transport.
