Plastic solar cells are light, easy to install, and readily produced using a printer. Nevertheless, the processes that take place on the molecular scale during the production of organic solar cells are not yet entirely clear. Researchers from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have now managed to observe these processes in real time. Their findings, which are published in the specialist journal Advanced Energy Materials, could help to improve the efficiency of organic solar cells.
