Research abstract
Improvement in Organic Photovoltaic (OPV) device efficiencies is limited in part by the structure of the active layer and absorbance of light over the full solar spectrum. Additionally, methods to increase the probability of photon capture, and to optimize exciton diffusion, charge separation and charge transport are also needed. Optimizing these elements will lead to high-efficiency and stable OPV devices. Working with the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), Nano-C will design and demonstrate a novel
