Project Description:
Proposes to demonstrate the feasibility of a low cost organic thin film solar cell device that can be fabricated using a simple robust process for organic/polymeric materials.
Proposed Outcomes:
§ A solar cell will be constructed based on the proposed concept.
Anticipated Benefits:
§ Proposed technology has the potential to increase the conversion efficiency of organic thin film solar cells to at least 5% while keeping cost low.
§ Proposed technology has the potential to provide low cost, high volume production of flexible thin film solar cells from inexpensive, easily processed organic and polymeric materials.
