The efficiency improves from 12.9% in single-junction devices to 15.9% in 2-junction devices (16.4% in simulations) and 17.3% in 3-junction devices (17.7% in simulations), confirming the viability of the RAINBOW architecture for scalable, high-efficiency OPVs.
That ternary mixing tunes Voc and boosts PCE in the target spectral region when morphology and energy levels are well aligned, as illustrated for PTB7-Th:COTIC-4F:BTP-eC9 operating as the red subcell.
Ternary blends in RAINBOW side-by-side organic solar cells raise efficiency from 12.9% single-junction to 15.9% for two junctions and 17.3% for three junctions using blade coating.
