Boosting Solar Cells with Smart Molecules

Scientists have found a way to make solar cells more efficient and stable.

Multitasking Molecules

• Special molecules added between layers of solar cells.
• Functions:
• Align energy levels.
• Reduce defects.
• Protect from moisture and other issues.

Beyond Simple Molecules

• Traditional solar cells use simple molecules for energy movement.
• New molecules are multitaskers:
• Improve energy movement.
• Increase durability.

Real-World Performance

• Test Results:
• Worked better and lasted longer.
• Withstood high humidity and heat for over 1000 hours.
• No protective coatings needed.

Simple and Practical

• Improvements made using simple methods.
• Easier for others to adopt this technology.
• A step forward in making solar cells more practical and reliable.
