Molecular Acenes for Light Capture, Conversion, and Storage
Phillip M. Greißel, Anna-Sophie Wollny, Yifan Bo, Dominik Thiel, René Weiß, Dirk M. Guldi Efficient photovoltaics (PV) require capturing and converting solar energy across a broad range of energy. Losses due to thermalization and sub-bandgap photons place, however, significant boundaries on the performance of solar cells. For conventional single-junction cells, the theoretical maximum power conversion […]Phillip M. Greißel, Anna-Sophie Wollny, Yifan Bo, Dominik Thiel, René Weiß, Dirk M.
