Self-assembled molecules promise better tandem solar cells

Original: Conjugation-regulated self-assembled molecules for tandem solar cells

Researchers report in Nature a new class of conjugation-regulated self-assembled molecules designed for tandem solar cells. The approach uses molecular self-assembly controlled by conjugation to improve light absorption and charge transport, aiming to push solar cell efficiency beyond what single-junction devices can reach. Details of performance gains and commercial prospects have not yet been widely reported, but the work is drawing attention in the solar energy research community.

Why now: Fresh publication in Nature of a materials advance relevant to next-generation solar efficiency
