Beyond visible: Novel semiconductors for future organic semitransparent photovoltaics
Annotation in Czech
Semitransparent organic solar cells (ST-OSCs) offer a disruptive opportunity to combine energy harvesting with protection against excessive thermal radiation, finding applications as photovoltaic windows or greenhouses. A key challenge lies in the inherent balancing of power conversion efficiency (PCE) and average visible transmittance, which current materials do not provide. To address this, novel semiconductors with strong FR-NIR absorption will be synthesized and the fundamental electronic processes on molecular level determining their optoelectronic properties systematically investigated. Experimental studies by ultrafast time-resolved spectroscopy and other advanced techniques will be supported by quantum chemical calculations. Detailed understanding of the relations between ultrafast optoelectronic processes, molecular structure of the semiconductors and their transparency and performance will lead to proposal of next-generation semitransparent semiconductors and devices. Finally, the experimental and theoretical findings will be validated in a model ST-OSC.
