Materials Opportunities in Emerging Photovoltaics

28 July 2020 by Dr Peter Harrop
Opportunities for new and improved PV materials include those that: Eliminate toxic emission from abuse or inappropriate disposal procedures notably heavy metals Improve physical performance such as transparency, stretchability, load-bearing, long life Permit integration into smart materials such as multi-mode energy harvesting laminates Improve photovoltaic performance such as efficiency, harvesting wider bandwidth Create totally new forms such as photovoltaic paint Are transparent conducting electrodes beyond ITO Act as better barrier layers to improve life Reduce cost
