Now, using models that predict how well a flexible electronic device will conform to spherical surfaces, engineers could usher in a new era in which these bendy devices can integrate seamlessly with parts of the human body. Wed, 19 Apr 2023 14:27:46 EDT //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/04/230419142746.htm New findings pave the way for stable organic solar cells that may enable cheap and renewable electricity generation //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/04/230419125047.htm Organic solar cells show great promise for clean energy applications. However, photovoltaic modules made from organic semiconductors do not maintain their efficiency for long enough under sunlight for real world applications. Scientists have now revealed an important reason why organic solar cells rapidly degrade under operation. This new insight will drive the design of more stale materials for organic semiconductor-based photovoltaics, thus enabling cheap and renewable electricity generation.
