Stretchable Polymer Solar Cell Fibers [PDF]

Small, 2014
Power yourself up: a sweater made from solar cells! Stretchable and wearable fibers are shown to be highly efficient polymer solar cells. Their stable energy conversion efficiency variation is below 10% even after 1000 bending cycles or stretching under a strain of 30%. These fibers can easily be woven into fabric from which any type of clothing can be

Biodegradable polymer solar cells

Solar Energy Materials and Solar Cells, 2008
Abstract Polymer photovoltaic devices were prepared using a biodegradable poly- l -lactic acid (PLLA) substrate loaded with nanoclay in an attempt to improve the thermal properties and possibly reduce permeation of water and oxygen. The nanoclay-loaded PLLA substrates were prepared by compounding and extrusion.

Plasmonic Polymer Tandem Solar Cell

ACS Nano, 2011
We demonstrated plasmonic effects in an inverted tandem polymer solar cell configuration by blending Au nanoparticles (NPs) into the interconnecting layer (ICL) that connects two subcells. Experimental results showed this plasmonic enhanced ICL improves both the top and bottom subcells' efficiency simultaneously by enhancing optical absorption.
