CityUHK researchers achieve first-ever recycling spin-triplet excitons for power generation, boosting organic photovoltaics efficiency to 20.5%

A research team from CityUHK has recently overcome a technological bottleneck that has persisted for over a decade. They successfully “turned waste into treasure” by recycling triplet excitons and converting them into effective charge carriers for electricity generation. Using this new approach, they achieved an efficiency of 20.5% in OPV cells.
