Funded Activity Summary

Macromolecular Materials for Organic Solar Cells. The world is in the midst of a climate crisis driven by mankind's insatiable demand for fossil-fuel energy. Renewable technologies such as solar and wind will undoubtedly form part of our future energy mix. Solar cells in particular have great potential- especially in sunny countries like Australia. The uptake of solar cell technology is hampered by their current high cost and long payback time. This project concerns the development of new solar cells based upon novel organic materials called dendrimers. These materials can be solution processed and will dramatically reduce cost and payback time in next generation devices.
