New milestone in printed photovoltaic technology (Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg)

Edit Public Technologies 23 Jun 2016
In contrast to the silicon cells that are often installed in photovoltaic systems on the roofs of buildings, organic solar cells are made of special semiconductor-based polymers called fullerenes - minute carbon molecules that look like footballs. Using fullerenes makes the cells highly efficient but also less durable, meaning that they are unable to match the standard technology over longer periods than 30 years, for example....
