Cheap High-Efficiency Solar Cells on the Horizon

“We hope that solar cells will one day be as thin as paper and be attached to the surface of your choice,” said co-author Hsiang-Yu Chen, a UCLA graduate student in engineering. “We’ll also be able to create different colors to match different applications.”

UCLA researchers create polymer solar cells with higher efficiency levels

“Previously, the synthesizing process for the polymer was very complicated. We’ve been able to simplify the process and make it much easier to mass produce,” said Jianhui Hou, UCLA postdoctoral researcher and co-author of the study. “Though this is a milestone achievement, we will continue to work on improving the materials. Ideally we’d like to push the performance of the solar cell to higher than 10 percent efficiency. We know the potential is there.”
