Solar cells, also known as photovoltaic cells, are a type of renewable energy source that converts sunlight into electricity through a process called the photovoltaic effect.
Organic solar cells are produced in a physical mixture which is then placed on a substrate and the solvent in the mixture evaporates. However, the chemical solution contains toxic and environmentally hazardous substances.
Large-scale production of organic solar cells with high efficiency and minimal environmental impact. This can now be made possible through a new design principle developed at Linköping University, Sweden.
