Накратко на български

Органичните фотоволтаици се изследват, за да се разбере защо материалите им се разграждат и как да се увеличи животът на слънчевите клетки. Това е важно, за да се създадат евтини и стабилни панели за производство на чиста електроенергия.

Understanding, Predicting and Enhancing the Stability of Organic Photovoltaics

Photovoltaics is today a major pillar for a sustainable and clean electricity generation and contributes significantly to the reduction of carbon dioxide emission. The current technology is based on inorganic semiconductors, mainly crystalline silicon but also alternative thin film technologies. Organic photovoltaics (OPV) could possibly contribute to this, as OPV can be manufactured in efficient and low-cost roll-to-roll processes. OPV modules have reached power conversion efficiencies above 20%. However, in order to have a large impact, the long-term stability of OPV has to be improved. OPVStability aims to develop an in-depth understanding of the degradation mechanisms and stability-promoting factors of organic photovoltaic materials and solar cells, to develop tools to predict the lifetime of devices and to identify stable structural motifs and device architectures as well as to develop strategies for efficient and stable OPV of the next generation. OPVStability combines partners with a background in OPV and/or specialized scientific methods by combining theoretical calculations and simulations, experimental degradation studies on single materials, materials combinations and interfaces, accelerated aging and outdoor stability measurements, advanced analytics, high-throughput experiments and machine learning approaches. Within OPVStability, ten PhD-students work on this interdisciplinary research project accompanied with an excellent training program comprising scientific skills as well as a set of soft and transferable skills.

Цел на проекта

Photovoltaics is a major pillar in tackling climate change, one of the biggest current threats to humankind. Organic photovoltaics (OPV) could significantly contribute to this, as organic solar cells can be manufactured in efficient and low-cost roll-to-roll processes and are already reaching power conversion efficiencies above 19%. However, in order to have a large impact, the long-term stability OPV has to be improved to obtain lifetimes of many years.Therefore, OPVStability aims to develop (i) an in-depth understanding of the degradation mechanisms and stability-promoting factors of organic photovoltaic materials and solar cells, (ii) tools to predict the lifetime of organic solar cells and to identify stable structural motifs as well as device architectures and (iii) innovative strategies to significantly enhance the stability of efficient OPV of the next generation.OPVStability combines partners from academia and industry with a strong background in OPV and/or specialized scientific methods including theoretical calculations and simulations, experimental degradation studies on single materials, materials combinations and interfaces, accelerated aging and outdoor stability measurements, advanced synchrotron-based analytics, high-throughput experiments and machine learning approaches.Within OPVStability, ten PhD-students work on this timely and interdisciplinary research project accompanied with an excellent training program comprising scientific skills as well as a comprehensive set of soft and transferable skills.
