Molecular locking boosts efficiency of scalable organic solar cells

Researchers proposed a molecular locking strategy for organic solar cells that improves efficiency and scalability. The approach stabilizes molecular packing in the active layer, enhancing charge transport in carbon-based photovoltaics.

• Organic solar cells use carbon-based materials instead of silicon
• Molecular locking improves packing and charge transport
• The method is claimed to be scalable for mass production
