Single-layered organic photovoltaics with double cascading charge transport pathways: 18% efficiencies
Efficiency of organic solar cells is determined by the physical properties of donors and acceptors in bulk heterojunction film. The authors optimise quaternary blends to realize a double cascading energy level alignment enabling efficient carrier dissociation and transport, achieving 18% efficiency.
