Recent developments in non-fullerene acceptor molecules for photovoltaics (PV) have opened up for organic solar cells with very high quantum efficiencies in the near-infrared region. At the same time, efficient free carrier photogeneration and transport in oxide thin films for PV has paved the way for stable near-ultraviolet absorbing solar cells. If combined in a synergistic manner, these oxide and organic thin films could result in thin and flexible solar cells with high stability and efficiency, while being transparent to tailored parts of the visible sunlight spectrum, which is ideal for e.g. windows and greenhouses. The primary objective of OxOPV is to pioneer the development of transparent PV through development of novel oxide-organic hybrid heterojunctions. OxOPV combines two research groups expertized on functional oxides and organic solar cells, along with three international partners, to push the boundaries of transparent PV device performance beyond current state of the art.
