Abstract

Abstract : On page 3366, P. M. Beaujuge and co‐workers describe homo‐tandem solar cells constructed by stacking identical subcells solution‐processed from blends of the wide‐bandgap polymer donor PBDTTPD and the fullerene acceptor PCBM, which achieve power conversion efficiencies >8% and open‐circuit voltages >1.8 V. The homo‐tandem devices provide sufficient voltage to induce the dissociation of water in an electrochemical cell. The authors acknowledge Hyun Ho Hwang (Heno) for developing the artwork.
