Advances in Organic Solar Cells
In recent years, the power conversion efficiency of organic solar cells has increased significantly. New donor-acceptor molecules lead to high performing solar cells. In this special issue we will provide a comprehensive overview over the advances in the field of organic solar cells. This includes aspects of materials, compositions, morphology, device physics and understanding. It will consider studies from an interdisciplinary perspective which integrate material science, engineering, physics and chemistry. The selected articles will give a state-of-the-art overview of the progress over the last several years in this emerging technology and will highlight promising direction of organic solar cells.
Topics covered include, but are not limited to:
- Novel donor / acceptor molecules for highly efficient organic solar cells
- Fullerene free organic solar cell
- Device physics, interfaces and morphology
- Stability, lifetime and production
