Plastics suppliers are racing to show that they can provide the best materials for those cells. "We believe that the global requirements for energy are increasing, and there is a strong desire for ...

New light has been shed on solar power generation using devices made with polymers. Researchers identified a new polymer -- a type of large molecule that forms plastics and other familiar materials -- ...

Thin-film solar cells made with amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) or organic semiconductors are considered as promising renewable energy sources due to their low manufacturing cost and light weight. However, ...

Organic solar cells can be transparent, lightweight, and flexible. The advantage of these materials is that many of them can be mixed with a solvent and printed on large rolls of plastic at high speed ...

Ikoma, Japan – All-polymer blend solar cells are expected to play an important role in the transition to clean energy technologies because they can be easily produced in large-scale flexible sheets.

A new high-temperature polymer fuel cell that operates at 80-160 degrees Celsius, with a higher-rated power density than state-of-the-art fuel cells, solves the longstanding problem of overheating, ...

In 2006, global c-Si PV production capacity amounted to 5.5 GW, roughly 10% of today s production capacities. Multicrystalline silicon solar cells had, on average, conversion efficiencies of 14% to 15 ...

A new approach to elucidate the operation and control of Polymer Electrolyte Membrane (PEM) fuel cells is being developed. A global reactor engineering approach is applied to PEM fuel cells to ...
