The course provides an insight into the theory behind organic solar cells and describes the three main research areas within the field i.e. materials, stability and processing. NOTE: This course is a specialized course on organic solar cells.
The most significant advances on the development of organic solar cells (OSCs) along the last three decades are presented. Key aspects of OSCs such as the photovoltaic principles regarding the mechanism for the generation of the exciton and the transport of the carriers to the respective electrodes are explained.
The goal of the course is to give students awareness of the largest alternative form of energy and how organic / polymer solar cells can harvest this energy. The course provides an insight into the theory behind organic solar cells and describes the three main research areas within the field i.e. materials, stability and processing.
Principles of organic photovoltaics A solar cell is an optoelectronic device capable of transforming the power of a photon flux into electrical power and delivering it to an external circuit. The mechanism of energy conversion that takes place in the solar cell - the photovoltaic effect - is illustrated in Figure 1 a.
Designing organic solar cells requires optimization of a large number of structural and compositional parameters, such as band gaps and layer thicknesses. Numerical device simulation can provide instrumental insight to identify the optimum stack configuration. This allows reducing the requested time for the development of efficient solar cells.
Most organic photovoltaic cells are polymer solar cells. Fig. 2. Organic Photovoltaic manufactured by the company Solarmer. The molecules used in organic solar cells are solution-processable at high throughput and are cheap, resulting in low production costs to fabricate a large volume.
