Transparent Electrode Key to Flexible Solar Cells

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind., May 23, 2013 — A hybrid transparent electrode that overcomes the “electron-transport bottleneck” of thin films could pave the way for flexible solar cells and color monitors, head-up displays in car windshields and optoelectronics circuits for sensors and information processing. Transparent electrodes used in today’s touch-screen monitors, cell phone displays and flat-screen TVs use indium tin oxide (InSnO2), an expensive material that is limited in availability, inflexible and degrades over time, becoming brittle and hindering performance. The Purdue University electrode,...Read full article
