ICFO boosts organic solar cell efficiency by limiting emission angles
Researchers at the Institute of Photonic Sciences (ICFO) report improved organic solar cell efficiency by limiting the angles at which the cells emit light. By controlling emission angles, the devices retain more of the energy that would otherwise be radiated away, increasing power conversion. The finding, reported by Optics.org, points to a design route for more efficient lightweight and flexible solar technology.
Why now: A phototonics research institute has published a potentially significant efficiency gain for organic solar cells
