Deskripsi

Organic solar cells, despite their high power conversion efficiencies, suffer from open circuit voltage losses making them less appealing in terms of applications. Here, the authors, supported with experimental data on small molecule photovoltaic cells, relate open circuit voltage to photovoltaic gap, charge-transfer state energy, and donor-acceptor interfacial morphology.
