TL;DR: Th Thin meshes of silver nanowires have recently emerged as promising electrodes due to their ability to provide transmittances greater than 85% at sheet resistances less than 20 Ω sq − 1, but their application to printed electronics is challenging due to a highly non-uniform topography, which can cause shorting through other layers.

TL;DR: The reciprocity relation between light absorption and emission is used to explore theoretical and practical performance limits for emerging technologies based on organics and perovskites, and compare them to state-of-the-art systems based on GaAs, c-Si, and CIGS.

TL;DR: It is concluded that the open circuit voltage V(OC) is limited by the smaller bandgap of the two blend components, derived from the losses of the studied materials.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate the reasons for the decrease in photocurrent of poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) as the donor and find that it can be attributed partly to a loss in charge generation efficiency that may be related to the LUMO-LUMO and HOMO-HOMO offsets at the donor-acceptor heterojunction, and partly to reduced charge carrier collection efficiencies.

TL;DR: A quantum chemical method that combines density functional theory (DFT) with time-dependent densityfunctional theory (TDDFT), using a hybrid functional to calculate the LUMO energies of all possible isomers of the bis and tris adducts of the fullerene, as well as other classes of pi-conjugated molecules with multiple isomers are proposed.
