BOOSTER Researchers Drive New Advances in Organic Solar Cells

The BOOSTER project is pleased to highlight two newly published high‑impact scientific papers prepared by our consortium partners, advancing the development, optimisation, and scalability of organic photovoltaic (OPV) technologies.

🔹 Simulation‑assisted optimization and upscaling of organic photovoltaics: From small cells to large‑area modules
R. Basu et al., Joule (2026)
DOI: 10.1016/j.joule.2026.102398

This study shows how simulation‑assisted approaches can support the reliable upscaling of organic photovoltaics. By linking small‑scale laboratory results with large‑area module design, the work helps reduce trial‑and‑error and enables a more efficient transfer of OPV technologies towards industrial applications.

🔹 Accelerating the development of organic solar cells: A standardized protocol with machine learning integration
J. Wortmann et al., Advanced Energy Materials (2026)
DOI: 10.1002/aenm.202506139

This paper introduces a standardized experimental protocol combined with machine‑learning tools to accelerate the development of high‑performance organic solar cells. The approach improves reproducibility and allows faster comparison and optimisation of materials and devices.
