Speaker/Performer: Prof. Alan Sellinger, Stanford University, Materials Science & Engineering

Sponsor: Berkeley Nanosciences and Nanoengineering Institute

Solar cell efficiencies and lifetimes based on organic small molecules and polymeric materials have been gradually increasing over the past 10 years. For example, power conversion efficiencies (PCE) and lifetimes of 1% and a few hours have now reached nearly 7% and thousands of hours.

This talk will review the progress and future prospects of organic/polymer solar cells as well...   More >
