A New Organic Spacer for Layered Perovskite Solar Cells

— LIMNO researchers have designed a visible-light-absorbing organic spacer that turns the layered “2D” perovskites into an active part of the solar cell, extending light harvesting to 650 nm and boosting performance five-fold over conventional spacers.

More Stable Organic Photoanodes for Solar Water Splitting

— The LIMNO lab has developed a new bilayer organic semiconductor architecture that dramatically improves the stability of photoanodes for solar-driven water splitting. The work, led by Dr. Jin Su Park, brings durable organic photoelectrochemical devices a significant step closer to practical solar hydrogen production.
