A Safer Cheaper Solar Cell Debuts

October 5, 2016 | Leave a Comment

North Carolina State University use a food additive to make an efficient, semi-printed plastic solar cell. Better yet the new solar cells can be created without the use of environmentally hazardous halogen solvents and can be manufactured at room temperature, which has strong implications for large-scale commercial production. Plastic solar cells, or organic photovoltaics, are […]

Looking For a Better Plastic Solar Cell

August 17, 2011 | 1 Comment

Lehigh University physicists Ivan Biaggio, professor of physics, and Pavel Irkhin, a Ph.D. candidate, have developed an imaging technique that makes it possible to directly observe light-emitting excitons as they diffuse in a new material that is being explored for its extraordinary electronic properties. The problem for low cost plastic based solar cells the absorption […]
