Sentences with phrase «of organic solar cells»

The energy efficiency of organic solar cells is approaching that of conventional silicon solar cells, but they don't necessarily have to compete on the same market.

I have devoted two years to the study of organic solar cells, and while studying I feel that there is still a lot of potential in these devices in the future.

Designers of organic solar cells have yet to come up with cells that can put to use, as silicon does, the packets of energy coming from the sun that pack more power.

This process — called «singlet fission» because it is akin to the splitting of atomic nuclei in nuclear fission to create two lighter atoms from a heavier one — holds promise for dramatically boosting the efficiency of organic solar cells by rapidly converting more of sunlight's energy to electrical charges instead of losing it to heat.

A future vision for the engineer, who works on the basic understanding of organic solar cell and semiconductor components at the Material Research Center for Energy Systems, is to coat large surfaces with organic solar cells using reel - to - reel technology.

This paves the way for other future applications such as the integration of organic solar cells into windows or overhead glazing.

A few months ago, researchers from the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in California for the first time succeeded in observing the cross-linking of polymer molecules in the active layer of an organic solar cell during the printing process.

One important class of organic solar cells uses dyes applied to a semiconductor material like titanium dioxide (TiO2), for example.

Abstract: Although it is known that molecular interactions govern morphology formation and purity of mixed domains of conjugated polymer donors and small - molecule acceptors, and thus largely control the achievable performance of organic solar cells, quantifying interaction - function relations has remained elusive.

Yet she must have smiled when, while processing an image of a polymer blend required to produce a new type of organic solar cell, at a certain point she could make out more and more clearly the outline of a penguin.

A Yale team has looked to nature to help solve a design problem, using tiny fossilized creatures called diatoms to improve the light absorption of organic solar cells.

A long sought - after «nanograss» structure promises to significantly boost the efficiency of organic solar cells by capturing light more efficiently while also allowing the use of cheaper, lower - grade materials.

This film is then used to enhance the photoconversion efficiency of organic solar cells.
