Abstract

Power-generating windows for buildings and automobiles bring great photovoltaic market opportunities. Ideal semitransparent photovoltaics should let required visible light pass and convert as much as near-infrared light energy into electric power. However, the current commercial, inorganic, semitransparent photovoltaics cannot fully meet such complex requirements, as their optical properties are intrinsically difficult to tune. Herein, by combining the advantages of organic photovoltaics with highly tunable optical properties and photonic structures with flexible optical regulation, a high-performance device with nearly 11% power conversion efficiency and 30% visible light transmittance was demonstrated. The advanced optical properties of the device were achieved by screening over tens of millions of device configurations through a high-throughput optical model, which had wide potential applications, especially as related to designs including multi-objective and multi-layer thickness optimizations.
