Achieving quantum coherence in organic solar cells KU Leuven
In the last decades, modern society has focused its attention on the production of energy in a green and eco-sustainable way. Among the investigated carbon-neutral energy sources, solar energy is one of the most available in nature. In photovoltaic cells, the power conversion efficiency is limited by Shockley-Queisser thermal losses. The quantum-coherent dissipation-free dynamics in an organic cell can ideally overcome this limitation. ...
Solution processed metal oxide for interface layers in organic solar cells KU Leuven
Organic and perovskite solar cells are promising next generation photovoltaic technologies, due to their unique properties, such as light weight, flexibility and tunable color that make them suitable for various applications. In both organic and perovskite solar cells, the interface layers, i.e. hole transport layer (HTL) and electron transport layers (ETL) between the photoactive layers and the electrodes, have significant influence on the ...
