About
Kyohei Nakano is a leading researcher in the field of organic photovoltaics (OPVs), with a focus on developing ultrathin, flexible solar cells for next-generation wearable electronics and soft robotics. His major contributions center on enhancing both the efficiency and environmental stability of these devices. In his highly cited 2022 work (50 citations), Nakano demonstrated a breakthrough in suppressing zinc element diffusion from electrode layers, a key degradation pathway that previously compromised the air stability of ultrathin OPVs. This innovation enabled the creation of solar cells less than 10 micrometers thick that maintain high power conversion efficiency while withstanding prolonged exposure to air. Nakano’s research addresses a critical bottleneck in the commercialization of flexible photovoltaics, bridging the gap between laboratory performance and real-world durability. His work is notable for its systematic approach to interfacial engineering and material design, offering practical solutions for lightweight, bendable energy harvesting. With a growing citation impact, Nakano is recognized as a rising authority in organic electronics, pushing the boundaries of how thin, stable, and efficient solar power can be integrated into everyday objects.
