Nature Communications, Published online: 22 July 2026; doi:10.1038/s41467-026-75699-x Controlling long-range, directional fibrillar morphology is important for organic solar cells (OSC). Here, the authors show that cobalt phosphosulfide nanocrystals can template film formation in OSCs, improving charge generation and transport, and achieving a power conversion efficiency of 21.0%.

New molecule design for more solar power Chemists at FAU hope to use optimized carbon-rich molecules to push the boundaries of organic photovoltaics. In the project UP&DOWN, carbon compounds are to be designed in such a way that sunlight striking them is used significantly more effectively, thereby generating more electrical current. Spectroscopy in the femtosecond […]

How photovoltaic technology can be advanced Limited efficiency, difficult to recycle and no notable production sites in Germany. There is much to improve when it comes to photovoltaic technology. Christoph Brabec, Verena Tiefenbeck and Ian Marius Peters have now come together to give photovoltaic technology new impetus. Christoph Brabec is looking for the perfect material. […]
