The PCE depends on both the organic and the polymer layer. Traditionally, chemists have experimented with different combinations of these by trial-and-error, leading to a lot of wasted time and effort.

Now, a team of Osaka University researchers has used computer power to automate the search for well-matched solar materials. In the future, this could lead to vastly more efficient devices. The study was reported in the Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters.
