- This research challenges the traditional optimisation methodology for organic solar cells, which suggests that a maximised contact (near 100%) between the light harvesting material and the device electrodes is needed to fabricate high-performance solar cells. This research shows that only 1% of the conducting area is needed to extract charges in solar cells effectively, and opens up greater possibilities for materials choice in organic devices enabling their realisation commercially. This article has featured on twelve international popular press news websites including Materials Today and ScienceDaily.
