Research abstract
Eikos Inc proposes to create 20% efficient radiation hard dual junction thin film photovoltaics. We will utilize our unique hole conducting transparent electrode made from carbon nanotubes as an interconnecting layer between the two junctions. These devices will demonstrate high efficiency, and the capability for deposition onto flexible substrates for a power density >1,000 W/m2 BENEFIT: Eikos anticipates that higher efficiency solar cells will be developed under this Phase I. These solar cells will be compatible with flexible substrates and roll-to-roll processing. Such devices will be useful for space-based and terrestrial solar power genereration.
