Jakarta, Sept. 28 -- A researcher at the Electronics Research Center at the National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN), Yuliar Firdaus, is developing organic solar cells (OSCs), which are claimed to be more environmentally friendly and can be mass-produced.

"Previous studies showed that OSC efficiency could exceed the theoretical limit of more than 22 percent if surface recombination could be suppressed and charge mobility continuously improved," Firdaus said in a statement in Jakarta on Sunday.

Firdaus explained that OSCs are a new generation of solar cells that use organic materials such as donor polymers and small molecule acceptors to absorb light and generate electricity.

He stated that the advantages of OSCs are that they are...
