The idea of photovoltaic cells that can be printed onto thin, flexible plastic substrates are an enticing prospect for promoting solar energy generation. Duncan Graham-Rowe reports. In a single ...

Imagine a small patch of plastic on your jacket that can power the phone in your pocket. Scientists crack the code on organic ...

This movement of electrons creates an electric current and essentially turns plastic into a semiconducting material. Researchers, including Osaka’s group, are making organic solar cells based on ...

Thin film material own the property of bandgap and requires ten times lesser quantity of substrate material to absorb light as compared to other solar cells. These are employed in wide range of ...

Unlike conventional silicon-based solar cells, OPV devices are lightweight, flexible, and potentially low-cost, making them attractive for a wide range of applications, including building-integrated ...

The cost per watt for the new cells is 10 cents, while existing solar cells cost $2.30 per watt. Lee Kwang-hee of the Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology said that the team hopes to ...

But organic photovoltaics, made from carbon and plastic, promise a cheaper way ... with a 15% efficiency and a 20 year lifetime, organic solar cells could produce electricity at a cost of less ...

Calculator aesthetics are apparently very important to some people, so Casio Japan has announced a new Comfy JT-200T ...
