ORGANIC PHOTOVOLTAICS

Going green at large

Nature Energy volume 6, pages 1007–1008 (2021)Cite this article

Subjects

Printing of large-area organic solar cells using green solvents often results in reduced crystallinity and uniformity of the photovoltaic film and consequently a significant performance loss. Now, a solid additive strategy is developed to control the film morphology at the nanoscale and tackle these limitations.
