Solution Processable Organic Photovoltaics – Sean Shaheen
Date: Mon. October 9th, 2006, 12:30 pm-1:30 pmLocation: Millis 123
Organic photovoltaics (OPV) have demonstrated power conversion efficiencies under AM1.5 illumination of 5%, a value high enough to attract attention from industry and national laboratory researchers. I will discuss issues in the photophysics, charge transport, molecular morphology and band structure that limit current devices and discuss new materials and device approaches that may yield higher efficiencies.
