Abstract

Wavelength-selective harvesting by organic solar cells (OSCs) has attracted significant research attention due to the unique potential of these materials for smart photovoltaic window applications. Here, a visibly transparent OSC is demonstrated by utilizing both near-infrared (NIR)-absorbing polyme...
