Design of Optoelectronically-active Polymers for Organic Photovoltaic Applications
Online Presentations | 08 Feb 2013 | Contributor(s): Bryan W. Boudouris
Organic photovoltaic (OPV) devices are of great interest due to their promise of providing flexible, lightweight, and inexpensive alternatives to their currently-used inorganic counterparts. However, large-scale implementation of these modules has been hampered due to their relatively low power...
High-Rate Processing and Advanced Emitter Structures for CIGS PV Module Manufacturing
Online Presentations | 11 Jul 2013 | Contributor(s): B. J. Stanbery
Achieving both macroscopic homogeneity and nanoscale heterogeneity for non-stoichiometric multinary compounds is a critical challenge for the success of copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS) photovoltaic cells. Co-evaporation yields world record performance, but is also a high-temperature vacuum...
