• Photovoltaic technology: Relay dye boosts efficiency
• On page 406 of this issue, Hardin et al. report an increase in the range of photon energies that can be efficiently harvested by organic solar cells. The key to the improvement is a relay dye that absorbs
  energy at green wavelengths and transfers it by Förster resonant energy transfer to a conventional sensitizer dye that absorbs at red wavelengths. The cell shows an improvement in conversion efficiency of almost a third, compared with a cell without the relay dye.
