  2. 21. Interfaces in Organic Solar Cells

    Author : Xian'e Li; Mats Fahlman; Xianjie Liu; Artem Bakulin; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Organic semiconductors (OSs), the promising candidates for the next generation electronic devices, have shown their advantages of light weight, flexibility, semi-transparency, tunable optical gaps, and energy levels, in the development history of over 70 years. OSs have been widely used in versatile applications such as organic light-emitting diodes, organic field-effect transistors, organic photodetectors, and organic solar cells (OSCs) which are mainly studied in this thesis.

    Abstract : Due to climate change and its effects, alternative renewable energy sources are needed in the future human society. In the work of this thesis, the Dye-sensitized Solar Cell (DSC) has been investigated and characterized. READ MORE

  5. 23. Light Trapping and Alternative Electrodes for Organic Photovoltaic Devices

    Author : Kristofer Tvingstedt; Olle Inganäs; Peter Peumans; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : Light trapping; Organic solar cells; Tandem cells; Polymer solar cells; Plastsolceller; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP;

    Abstract : Organic materials, such as conjugated polymers, have emerged as a promising alternative for the production of inexpensive and flexible photovoltaic cells. As conjugated polymers are soluble, liquid based printing techniques enable production on large scale to a price much lower than that for inorganic based solar cells. READ MORE

  6. 24. Morphology and material stability in polymer solar cells

    Author : Rickard Hansson; Ellen Moons; Andreas Opitz; Mats Fahlman; Karlstads universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; polymer solar cell; photovoltaics; morphology; photo-degradation; conjugated polymer; fullerene; synchroton-based techniques; Physics; Fysik;

    Abstract : Polymer solar cells are promising in that they are inexpensive to produce, and due to their mechanical flexibility have the potential for use in applications not possible for more traditional types of solar cells. The performance of polymer solar cells depends strongly on the distribution of electron donor and acceptor material in the active layer. READ MORE

  7. 25. Photoelectrochemical studies of dye-sensitized solar cells using organic dyes

    Author : Tannia Marinado; Anders Hagfeldt; Katoh Ryuzi; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; additive; charge recombination; coadsorbent; conduction band shift; dye-sensitized; electron lifetime; electron-transfer; organic dye; photoelectrochemical; photovoltaic; sensitizer; semiconductor; solar cell; solar cell efficiency; titanium dioxide; Physical chemistry; Fysikalisk kemi;

    Abstract : The dye-sensitized solar cell (DSC) is a promising efficient low-cost molecular photovoltaic device. One of the key components in DSCs is the dye, as it is responsible for the capture of sunlight. State-of-the-art DSC devices, based on ruthenium dyes, show record efficiencies of 10-12 %. READ MORE
