We all know ferrocene as the go-to for CV reference…or maybe for #perovskites. But in #OPV? Hardly explored! Our new paper in @CellPressNews #Joule shows how ferrocene-based complexes boost performance over 20% and photostability in organic solar cells.

This study presents the complex formation between ferrocene derivatives and n-type materials used as electron-transporting layers (ETLs) in OSCs. By fine-tuning the work function of these novel...
