Research

• Materials and Performance The focus of the Theme is on emerging photovoltaic (PV) technologies, based on devices with photo-active layers consisting of organic small molecules and/or polymers and quantum dots.
• Stability Successful commercialization of organic and perovskite solar-cell modules requires the convergence of appropriate power conversion efficiency, low-cost manufacturing, and required lifetime.
• Processing Solution manufacturing of photovoltaics is key to the promise of ubiquitous solar-energy technologies, via high-throughput and printing of potentially low-cost and low-energy footprint modules based on emerging photovoltaic technologies.
