Description

Huang and colleagues reported a record-setting organic solar cell in twenty twenty-four that also lasts far longer than its rivals. Organic cells are cheap and flexible, but light and air chew them up, and the flipped design studied here had lagged on lifespan.

The team capped a zinc oxide layer with a radical-scavenging compound, a molecular sponge that soaks up the damaging particles light creates. The resulting cell turned nineteen point five percent of sunlight into power, a record for its class, confirmed by outside testing. It kept over ninety-four percent of that power after nearly nine thousand hours in open air. The team also mapped exactly which radicals attack which part of the cell. That clear picture of decay, plus the fix, tackles the main barrier to selling such cells. Efficiency without endurance, they show, is only half the job.
