Researchers from the Riken Center for Emergent Matter Science in Japan have developed a waterproof and flexible organic photovoltaic (OPV) solar cell for wearable electronics. The cell includes an in-situ growth of a hole-transporting layer to enhance adhesion between the active layer and anode, resulting in improved waterproofness. The team achieved a champion efficiency of 14.3% under one sun illumination, surpassing existing waterproof OPVs. The cell withstood water immersion, stretching, and washing machine cycles while retaining performance, making it suitable for wearable electronics.
