A study finds that a photovoltaic cell, constructed from an indium tin oxide anode and a nonfullerene acceptor with strong near-infrared absorption, achieved power conversion efficiency of 10.8% while displaying visible transparency of around 50%, suggesting that such semitransparent organic photovoltaics could serve in power-generating windows and other solar energy applications.
