Solar Energy Research in the Marder Group. Our research focuses on developing innovative materials that can improve solar cell technology. We specialize in creating new materials that can capture and ...

These organic solar cells are typically manufactured by mixing chemicals and applying them to a surface. The chemicals then evaporate, leaving behind the solar cell material.

However, organic solar cells have not been as efficient as silicon or perovskite solar technologies at converting light into electricity. “Organic solar cells are made of a mixture of two materials,” ...

Organic photodetectors rely on heterojunctions, but traditional heterojunction structures suffer from issues like bimolecular ...

Since 2009, the maximum efficiency of perovskite solar cells has risen from 3.9% to 30.1%—it took 37 years for crystalline silicon solar cells to achieve comparable efficiencies.
