Solar cell, any device that directly converts the energy of light into electrical energy through the photovoltaic effect. The majority of solar cells are fabricated from silicon—with increasing efficiency and lowering cost as the materials range from amorphous to polycrystalline to crystalline silicon forms.

Considerable progress on high-performance organic solar cells (OSCs) has been achieved in the past due to the rapid development of nonfullerene acceptors (NFAs). Typically, two kinds of methods have been employed to manipulate energy levels and aggregation of NFAs, i.e., molecular engineering on alkyl side chains and modification of the heterocyclic rings in the …
Multijunction solar cells are at the core of the world record for solar cell efficiency – as of 2022, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) has set the bar for efficiency at 39.5 percent using multijunction technology – an improvement over their previous record of 39.2 percent.
