JPE.14.018501 New research study recommends revamping organic solar cells with a hemispherical shell structure to offer wider angular protection, which is especially useful for gadgets that require versatile light absorption, like wearable electronics.The search for sustainable energy solutions puts a high concern on developing more effective solar cells. Improving their performance continues to be a major hurdle.Embracing a new formIn a pioneering move, brand-new research study from Abdullah Gül University (Türkiye) reimagines the structure of organic photovoltaic cells, deciding for a hemispherical shell shape to unlock unmatched potential in light absorption and angular protection. When subjected to transverse electric (TE)- polarized light, the hemispherical shell structure showed an impressive 66 percent increase in light absorption compared to flat-structured gadgets.
