Flexible solar cell achieves major power conversion efficiency gains

https://techxplore.com/news/2023-09-flexible-solar-cell-major-power.html

"ternary organic solar cells... LA1 (modified with phenylalkyl side chain improves crystallinity and alignment) tweaks cell's internal energy flows (improving conversion of light into power), broadens spectrum absorbed, blends film morphology, improves exciton dissociation, charge generation and transport... crystalline size fine-tuned for improved electric charge transport and suppressed charge recombination... PCE gains >15%, and with Y6 acceptors as host component, >19%"
