Semitransparent organic solar cells (STOPV) are a widely acknowledged solar energy conversion technology that can simultaneously absorb invisible light for energy production while allowing visible light transmission for transparency. However
regarding STOPV integrated on building to reach practical application in the future
the harmonious unification of power conversion efficiency (PCE)
average photopic transmittance (APT)
and the infrared-light rejection rate (IRR) must be achieved. In contrast to traditional single-optimization strategies
we present an approach to enhance STOPV performance by using a ternary strategy coupled with multiple optical modulation engineering. On the materials level
by combining the wide bandgap donor PM6 and two near-infrared acceptors owing similar absorption but different end groups combinations (symmetric molecule BTP-eC9 and asymmetric molecule BTP-S9)
we have optimized the efficiency of a single-junction ternary opaque organic solar cell to 18.66%. On the device level
we propose a triple optical manipulation method by integrating an anti-reflection layer (ARC)
a tellurium dioxide (TeO2) optical layer
and a bandpass filter (BF) into the original STOPV structure
to address the see-saw effect among PCE
APT and IRR. Ultimately
our optimized STOPV achieved a PCE of 12.82% and APT of 35.70%
causing a light utilization efficiency (LUE) of 4.6%
and an infrared-light rejection rate of 96.8%
ranking one of the highest performance multifunction-STOPV.
