Achieving high performance and stability simultaneously: Developing hybrid bio-nanostructures

A research team developed hybrid bio-nanostructures then used them to fabricate fibrous solar cells (FSCs) and fibrous organic light-emitting diodes (FOLEDs) that demonstrated high performance and stability across a wide temperature range, from minus 80 degrees Celsius to 150 degrees Celsius. The team reported a 40% increase in the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of the FSCs and a 47% increase in the external quantum efficiency (EQE) of the FOLEDs.
