Description
The potential advantages of an all-polymer heterojunction solar cell include: low cost (large scale production using existent polymer processing technology) large area (plastic thin films can be produced at macroscopic dimensions) flexible (mechanical properties of polymers) The materials used are hydrocarbon based, non-toxic molecules and production of these thin film solar cells are done at room temperature without any dangerous exhausts. Our expected technical achievements and verifiably realistic objectives within the proposed research are:
1. to increase the power conversion efficiencies
2. to increase the stability and lifetime of the cells towards ambient degradation
3. to develop techniques for fabrication of large area cells using polymer technology
