"Organic Photovoltaic (OPV) Solar Cells with Morphological and Mechanical Robustness and Improved Chemical & Light Stability"
About Us
Kinmen OPV Pioneers have developed all-polymer non-fullerene flexible, semi-transparent OPV solar cells, which consist of a polymer donor and acceptor placed between the interfacial layers of the OPV. The organic photovoltaic cells (OPVs) developed will fulfill the requirements of low cost, high efficiency and prolonged lifetime with advantages such as lightweight, semi transparency, and mechanical flexibility. Also, low manufacturing temperatures and solution-process technology make OPV printable on flexible plastic substrates employing industrial rotating equipment or roll-to-roll (R2R). OPVs offered by the company are quite relevant and cost-effective technology, making them easy to deploy and use in innovative ways, such as integrating into buildings and windows, used in architectural design, wearable applications, etc.
Problems To Solve
Low Mechanical Stability & Efficiency of OPVs
PV panels are the most widely adopted method for harvesting solar energy, but inorganic PV panels aren’t flexible in terms of their design, making aesthetics a challenge. Unlike rigid silicon, OPVs have carbon-based compounds as their semiconductor.
Environmental Impact
Although PV systems produce little pollution while they are in use, it is impossible to disregard the potential environmental effects of such systems from manufacturing to disposal. Important environmental factors to consider include the creation of hazardous contaminants, the contamination of water resources, the emissions of air pollutants, and the effect of PV installations on land use.
Fullerene Limitations in All-Polymer Solar Cells
Fullerene is quite expensive and is a poor polymer-polymer combination which increases acceptor-donor separation resulting in the inefficient performance of OPVs. Almost all OPV panels use fullerene as an electron acceptor, which leads to weak absorption properties, high cost of fullerene compounds, multiple chemical synthesis steps and photosensitivity & oxygen-induced degradation.
Our Solution
-
We have used water-borne inks, i.e., donor and acceptor material, with the capability to impart a notable thermal insulation effect if used as BIPV in buildings.
-
Minimized the level of phase separation for the active layer of the OPV solar cells.
-
Increased stability, efficiency, and flexibility.
-
Controlled nanoscale morphology.
