Monash University Polymer PV Study

closed

This project combines the expertise of researchers at Monash, Flinders, and Macquarie Universities to advance the development of all-polymer solar cells by targeting the key issues of scalability and stability.How the project worksMaterials with ease of synthesis and the ability to be processed in green solvents will be developed at Flinders University. Experiments at Macquarie University will screen the new materials for stability and potential for use in photovoltaic cells, and the most promising materials will be passed on to Monash University where device fabrication and optimisation work will be undertaken. Experiments will also be performed at the Australian Synchrotron to understand the microstructure and morphological stability of polymer blends. Finally, large area cells based on the most promising materials will be fabricated and tested.
