A window of opportunity : A transparent graphene film has been obtained by a new bottom‐up chemical approach involving the thermal reaction of synthetic nanographene molecules of giant polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons which are cross‐linked with each other and further fused into larger graphene sheets. Such graphene films have been applied as window electrodes in organic solar cells (see picture).
