Together, they created all-organic solar cells with a PCE of 8.7%. That’s more than double the efficiency of the previous best organic models, and it marks a huge step forward for this technology.

Nevertheless, some of it is lost in solar cells. This is an obstacle in the use of organic solar cells, especially for those viable in innovative applications.

Their research showed impressive progress with structure-inverted organic solar cells that were 1 cm² in area and had an efficiency of more than 18 percent.
