High-performance vertical field-effect organic photovoltaics
First, PCE is an important factor denoting the performance of TPVs, similar to opaque PVs. In general, the higher light transmittance of TPVs leads to lower light absorption by the device, decreasing the PCE. 2 Consequently, TPVs show a relatively lower PCE compared with that of opaque PV with a transmittance of 0%. ...
