Description
Summary:Highly efficient top‐illuminated organic solar cells with microcavity structures are numerically simulated and fabricated by H.‐W. Lin, K.‐T. Wong, and co‐workers on page 2269. The high efficiencies are primarily attributed to the thin, electrically optimized active layers and the panchromatic simulation programdesigned in‐cell and out‐of‐cell optical resonance structures, incorporating favorable materials with good electrical and optical properties. Given the insensitivity of the substrate, this approach offers a new step toward highly efficient organic solar cells on all kinds of substrates.
