TADF additive pushes polymer solar cells past 20% efficiency

Original: A TADF Additive Boosts Polymer Solar Cells Past 20% Efficiency in Layer-by-Layer Processing | Newswise

Researchers report that adding a thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) material to polymer solar cells has lifted power conversion efficiency beyond 20%, using a layer-by-layer processing method. The result marks a notable milestone for organic photovoltaics, a field long seeking to cross that threshold, and suggests the additive improves charge generation and stability in the active layer.

Why now: Breaking the 20% efficiency barrier is a significant milestone for organic solar cell research, drawing attention from the energy and materials science community.
