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
We present a novel approach towards fabricating bright-colored solar cells with excellent angular insensitivity while preserving high efficiency by topping a crystalline silicon solar panel with a trans-reflective color filtering device. The 5-layered filter exhibits a distinctive narrowband reflection, producing vivid colors (∼60% peak reflection) with an angle-invariant appearance up to ±60°. Simultaneously, it transmits the remaining broadband light spanning the whole solar spectrum onto the silicon solar panel underneath, leading to an overall high power conversion efficiency of decorative solar cells. This facile method with few layers can be used to decorate other types of solar panels for better building integration and simultaneously protect the active devices from environmental degradation. In addition, it can be easily replaced when the colored structures are damaged or a different color is desired, thus holding great potential for future building-integrated photovoltaics and automotive applications.
