Transparent Solar Cells with Flexibility

Caption

a, Optical images of transparency-controlled microwire embedded polymer composite films in a freestanding form; Visible transparency of I = ~ 50 %, II = ~ 40 %, III= ~25 % and IV= ~ 10 %. b, The representation of the color coordinates of transparent solar cells in this study, verifying the neutral-colour transparency c, The electric field intensity in the microwires which can manipulate the light absorption. d, Light J-V characteristics The transparent solar cell based on the freestanding film with advanced light-absorption technique: the visible transparency of each device is I = ~ 50 %, II = ~ 40 %, III= ~25 % and IV = ~ 10 %. e, Schematic of the transparent solar cell based on the freestanding film, p-type polymer is in the top portion of and transparent conductive film is at the bottom. f, Light J-V curves of transparent solar cells under the bending state with the different bending radius.
