Spray-Coated Organic Solar Cells Showed Increase Conversion Efficiency

IMEC has demonstrated a fully solution-processed organic solar cell with a spray-coated active layer and a metal top contact spray-coated on top. The resulting cell shows power conversion efficiencies above 3%, a performance comparable to organic solar cells produced by spin coating of the organic layer and vacuum evaporation of the top contact metal. This is an important step towards producing organic solar cells with cheap and large-area processes.

Artificial Photosynthetic Reaction Based on Principles Similar to Those Found in Nature

Most life on earth depends on the sun to provide the energy needed to sustain its function. For more than a billion years, photosynthesis-a mechanism that has evolved to perfection-has allowed plants to convert solar energy into chemical energy. Solar energy is by far the most abundant source of renewable energy available to us.
