New Solar Cell to Operate Indoors
September 19, 2019 | Leave a Comment
Swedish and Chinese scientists have developed organic solar cells optimized to convert ambient indoor light to electricity. The power they produce is low, but is probably enough to feed the millions of products that the internet of things will bring online. As the internet of things expands, it is expected that we will need to […]

Wet Processed Solar Cells Are More Highly Efficient
October 31, 2018 | Leave a Comment
Kanazawa University researchers have documented a new method for controlling the orientation of conducting molecules in organic solar cells that results in the enhanced light adsorption and performance of the cells. Solar cells are an alternate source of energy. A subtype of these, organic solar cells, make use of organic polymers inside the cell. Using […]

New Simple Process For Making Organic Solar Cells
December 7, 2016 | Leave a Comment
University of California at Santa Barbara (UCSB) researchers have developed a simple processing technique that could cut the cost of organic photovoltaics and wearable electronics. The development by the UCSB team working with three other universities is a new technique for manufacturing single-layer organic polymer solar cells that might very well move organic photovoltaics into […]

Better Solar Cells From Understanding Charge Separation
February 5, 2014 | Leave a Comment
A new understanding of the basic science of charge separation offers new insight on making cheaper organic solar cells. The researchers suggest improved design rules for making more efficient solar cells in the future. Penn State electrical engineer Noel Giebink with lead author Bethany Bernardo, an undergraduate in his group, and colleagues at IMEC in […]
