Abstract

Abstract : Research aimed at understanding charge separation at donor–acceptor interfaces in organic solar cells is presented by Gjergji Sini and co‐workers in article number 1900230 . The cover images shows a globe as a giant solar cell. The hexagons and circles on the surface represent different organic molecules (donor and acceptors) and h + and e − represent the holes and electrons. The color gradients show the energy bending at the interface as a driving force for charge separation.
