Project title: Roll-to-roll (R2R) coating of 3rd generation solar cells with optimal nano-structure
Project description:
The goal of the project is to transfer reported lab‐scale champion solar cell performances to scalable fabrication methods. With the possibilities of directed, scalable processing as opposed to the limitations of small scale batch‐manufacturing there is even the possibility that new champion solar cell records will be made. Thus, I am the one manufacturing the champion solar cells relying on organic active materials, with low manufacturing energy input and minimal environmental impact. I am responsible of finding new and innovative solutions to realizing control of material parameters on the nano‐scale, with methods that are up-scalable. This require manipulating drying kinetics, through use of solvent mixtures, solvent temperature, substrate temperature and coating speed, or other processing steps, such as thermal annealing, light absorption or other means of supplying energy to the coated layers.
