Mapping charge-carrier dynamics to guide more efficient organic solar cells

Researchers from Sungkyunkwan University have published a review in ACS Nano mapping ultrafast spectroscopy techniques to better understand charge-carrier dynamics in organic solar cells. The study aims to resolve conflicting interpretations of how light is converted into electricity in nonfullerene acceptor materials.
