Product Integration of Polymer Solar Cells. From Circuitry to Functional Units

Frederik C. Krebs was born in Denmark on the 3rd of January 1970. B.Sc. in chemistry from University of Aberdeen, Scotland, 1993. B. Sc. In biochemistry/immunology from University of Aberdeen, Scotland, 1994. D. E. A. in solid state chemistry from University of Nantes, France, 1995. Cand. Scient in chemistry from University of Copenhagen, Denmark, 1996. Ph. D. in chemistry from Technical University of Denmark, 2000. He is currently professor at Risø National Laboratory for Sustainable Energy, Technical University of Denmark. The current research area is polymer solar cells and includes topics of organic chemistry, device preparation, device stability studies, studies of degradation mechanisms, roll-to-roll manufacture of polymer solar cells and demonstration of the technology in applications.

Risø is the National Laboratory for Sustainable Energy at the Technical University of Denmark - DTU.

 

Risø carries out scientific and technical-scientific research that can provide Danish society with new opportunities for technological development and takes responsibility for the results to be used. Our work is based on the idea that knowledge is the key to the development of an innovative and sustainable society capable of facing global competition.

 

Risø's hallmarks are large strategic research and development projects and research quality at international level. We take initiatives and set targets for research through continuous dialogue with the business sector, the political system and the research community and our research is part of national and international networks. Our research can especially create impact in relation to energy supply, energy consumption and health-related technology. Risø has large test facilities and interdisciplinary research environments that enable us to solve problems across traditional professional boundaries and competences. Training and education as well as innovative activities are naturally integrated with Risø's research activities. Our research is furthermore the basis of customer-driven activities including advice to the business community, institutions and authorities.
