Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Semitransparent microcavity is constructed by sandwiching an active layer between the WO 3 /Ag/WO 3 multilayer electrode and the thin Ag electrode capped by one-dimensional photonic crystals (1DPCs) to simultaneously improve light absorption and transmission of the semitransparent organic solar cells (OSCs). Optical simulations demonstrate that the upper limit to power conversion efficiency (PCE max ) of the semitransparent OSCs is improved up to 8.37%, an improvement of 14.0% from that of the conventional device without the microcavity; simultaneously, the transparency of the device reaches a relatively high value of 21.7% with an improvement of 8.0%. In addition, it is revealed that PCE max, transparency and see-through color of the devices bear strong relevance to the photonic bandgap of 1DPCs. Transparency for the semitransparent OSCs can be tuned from 2.4% to 33% and the see-through color of the semitransparent OSCs can be tuned in a broad range by tailoring the center wavelength of the photonic bandgap. Results from the paper demonstrate the semitransparent microcavity is an efficient light trapping structure for semitransparent OSCs and can find application in the design and fabrication of semitransparent OSCs with high efficiency and high transparency.
