Orientation dependent molecular electrostatics drives efficient charge generation in homojunction organic solar cells
Though single-material organic solar cells are attractive for next-generation photovoltaic technologies, designing new materials with ideal properties remains a challenge. Here, the authors report the use of orientation-dependent molecular electrostatics to realise efficient homojunction devices.
