A solar cell, also known as a photovoltaic cell (PV cell), is an electronic device that converts the energy of light directly into electricity by means of the photovoltaic effect. [1] It is a form of photoelectric cell, a device whose electrical characteristics (such as current, voltage, or resistance) vary when it is exposed to light.. Individual solar cell devices are often the electrical
Suppressing the non-radiative energy loss by optimizing the exciton behaviors in PBDB-TF:eC9-based organic photovoltaic (OPV) cells is demonstrated in this work. The exciton diffusion length and exciton lifetime in the active layer based on PBDB-TF:eC9 are enhanced via introducing HDO-4Cl, resulting in the obvious reduction in the non-radiative charge

Organic photovoltaics (OPVs) have experienced a significant increase in power conversion efficiency (PCE) recently, now approaching 20% on small-cell level. Since the efficiencies on the module level are still substantially lower, focused upscaling research is necessary to reduce the gap between cells and modules.
