Increasing Photon Upconversion Efficiency with Structural Exciton Localization

A new approach to photovoltaic cell design could significantly improve energy efficiency. According to Hackaday, researchers have developed a technique called structural exciton localization that helps solar cells capture and convert more of the light spectrum into usable energy. By better utilizing wavelengths that would otherwise be wasted, the method could lead to more efficient solar power generation.
