Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Solvent vapor annealing enables kinetic control of additive‐free morphology in organic solar cells. Selective plasticization of acceptor forms an optimal fibrillar network, boosting efficiency to 19.06% (binary) and 19.75% (ternary), with ultrafast exciton dissociation and reduced recombination.

Simplified Set-Up for Near-Specular Solar Reflectance Measurement
SolarPACES Conference ProceedingsIn Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) plants, mirrors are used to redirect solar radiation onto a receiver. More precisely, the solar radiation, diverging with a half-angle of about 4.7 mrad, impinges off-normal on the mirror.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Metasurfaces and other structured photonic environments can dramatically modify the absorption and/or light emission of semiconductors. However, the consequences of these changes on the temperature of the system are not well understood. The authors address this problem for colloidal nanocrystals and leverage their findings to convert light into ...
