Microscopy Technique Targets Solar Cells

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
PITTSBURGH, Nov. 30, 2011 — A new take on a microscopy technique could help in the design of more energy-efficient solar cells. Although current plastic solar cells are low in cost and easy to produce, they are not energy-efficient. Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh are predicting a way to produce solar cells that will offer more flexibility in generating green energy. Scientist Guangyoung Li explained that most plastic solar cells today are made from a blend of semiconducting polymers and other carbon-rich molecules. Although this material is usable and costs little, it does not assist with energy...Read full article
