Engineering highways for excitons
Abstract
The distance that excitons can travel is a key parameter for organic photovoltaic materials. In the August issue of Science Advances, Sneyd and colleagues report a breakthrough in increasing exciton diffusion length to 300 nm by using highly ordered nanofibers. This approach can enable simpler and more stable solar cells.
