Quantum developments boost organic solar cells and communications 13 May 2021 Researchers at Gothenburg and KTH universities, both based in Sweden, achieve quantum photonics breakthroughs. Organic solar cells have many advantages compared with traditional silicon-based solar cells. They can be manufactured cheaply at a large scale using printing presses, and they are light, malleable and flexible. A problem, identified by the Gothenburg researchers, is that todayâs organic solar cells are not as stable and effective as silicon-based solar cells. In a recently published study, the resea...
