Optical And Electrical Performance Optimisation Of Conjugated Polymer-Based Organic Solar Cells

High efficiency semitransparent OSCs with good colour perception and good colour rendering properties, suitable for windows application, were designed and developed using blade coating technique. Blade coating can save up to 95% material compared to the conventional spin coating method. In addition...
