GreenSol: Materials for green processing and their integration in low-cost OPV cells

The project GreenSol aims at preparing new organic semiconductors with solubility in solvents of low toxicity (e.g. water or ethanol) to perform as the photo-active layer in photovoltaic (PV) cells. The solubility of organic photo-active materials enlarge the range of applications of PV devices to products where the conventional silicon-based technology cannot easily enter, as power-generating ...
