Recently, Yongye Liang’s research group has developed an efficient molecular engineering approach for the improvement of efficiency and accessibility of polymer solar cells (PSCs). This work (“Molecular Engineering on Conjugated Side Chain for Polymer Solar Cells with Improved Efficiency and Accessibility”) has been published online by the journal Chemistry of materials (impact factor: 9.407) of American Chemical Society.

On November 10, the 2015 Press Conference for Shenzhen's Talent Program for Introduction of Overseas High-level Talent Teams was held. Prof. Xu Baomin's "New Perovskite Solar Cell R & D Team" was among the first group of funded teams.
