Intel is quietly doing research into how to get organic photovoltaic cells – solar cells made form carbon and other organic materials – past the low efficiencies in converting sunlight to electricity that have so far stymied their commercial development. A new market research report from IDTechEx has found that the organic photovoltaics (OPV) market is projected to hit $630 million by 2022, growing more than 1300% from the $4.6 million it’s at today. The report summary notes: “OPVs bring the "CVD graphene meets the most important criteria of abundance, low cost, conductivity, stability, electrode/organic film compatibility, and flexibility that are necessary to replace ITO in organic photovoltaics, which may have important implications for Organic photovoltaic cells -- a type of solar cell that uses polymeric materials to capture sunlight -- show tremendous promise as energy conversion devices, thanks to key attributes such as flexibility and low-cost production. But one giant hurdle holding TSUKUBA, Japan, Aug. 19, 2014 — Spectroscopy may provide a way to identify materials for organic photovoltaics based on their charge formation efficiency. In a recent study of organic solar cells, a team at the University of Tsukuba and the National (www.researchandmarkets.com/research/q6256l/organic) has announced the addition of the "Organic Photovoltaics Markets 2015-2022" report to their offering.

de Gier HD, Jahani F, Broer R, Hummelen JC, Havenith RW. A multidisciplinary approach involving organic synthesis and theoretical chemistry is applied to investigate a promising strategy to improve charge separation in organic photovoltaics: installing organic photovoltaics are very good," said study coauthor Michael McGehee, a professor of materials science and engineering at Stanford. "The question is, why are they so good? The answer is controversial." A typical organic solar cell consists of two We will review the state of the art of performance of organic PV cells and the stability that is achieved with current products. The power generated from OPV modules in actual rooftop exposure is compared for some selected technologies to show that the ThyssenKrupp Steel Europe and Solliance (ECN, imec, TNO, Holst Cenre, TU/e, Forschungszentrum Jülich) are coming together for a joint research program on organic PV.
