Project description Flexible, Organic and Large Area Electronics and Photonics Show the project objective Hide the project objective ROTROT (ROll to Roll production of Organic Tandem cells) project addresses "Flexible, Organic and Large Area Electronic and photonics". OLAE potentially offers a giant step for consumer electronics and will continue to address mass market applications. In this OLAE field, Organic Photovoltaic (OPV) has to compete with Si and Thin Film PV. OPV has followed this tremendous growth and makes important additions to the motivation: low cost and easy manufacturing on flexible substrates by printing technologies. The problem of harvesting energy from light naturally presents a large area challenge and no manufacturing technique is faster than printing and coating under ambient conditions in terms of manufactured surface per unit time. This is in reality what gives OPV the competitive advantage over all other PV technologies.Power conversion efficiency of OPV cells has relatively been growing +0.5% per year from 1990. This enhancement is mainly due to new performing material discovery. If we want to reach relative growth up to 1 to 2% per year, we still have to work on new high absorbing polymers but also put great effort on device architecture design like the tandem structure. Novel disruptive concepts are required involving cheaper production of multilayered printed cells based on innovative engineered architectures (R2R printed tandem cell), new high performance materials (low band gap Eg ~1.5 eV, electrodes, high performance interface, barrier adhesive). Such innovative solutions are necessary for the technology to reach further than today's niche markets and to overcome the limitations by improving at least two times the currently achieved efficiency (12%), improving the lifetime by more than factor 4 from today's known OPV cell and reducing the cost (down to 0.7€/Wp). ROTROT proposes to fulfill these goals and comprise a complete solution process using significant advances in R2R techniques ending up with an environmentally friendly and safe deposition process Fields of science natural scienceschemical sciencespolymer sciencesengineering and technologymaterials engineeringcoating and films Programme(s) FP7-ICT - Specific Programme "Cooperation": Information and communication technologies Topic(s) ICT-2011.3.6 - Flexible, Organic and Large Area Electronics and Photonics Call for proposal FP7-ICT-2011-7 See other projects for this call Funding Scheme CP - Collaborative project (generic) Coordinator COMMISSARIAT A L ENERGIE ATOMIQUE ET AUX ENERGIES ALTERNATIVES Address Rue leblanc 25 75015 Paris France See on map Region Ile-de-France Ile-de-France Paris Activity type Research Organisations Administrative Contact Stephanie THOLLON (Mrs.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window EU contribution No data Participants (7) Sort alphabetically Sort by EU Contribution Expand all Collapse all DELO INDUSTRIE KLEBSTOFFE Germany EU contribution € 35 255,00 Address Delo allee 1 86949 Windach See on map Activity type Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Administrative Contact Thomas Zwerger Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Other funding No data FRIEDRICH-ALEXANDER-UNIVERSITAET ERLANGEN-NUERNBERG Germany EU contribution € 555 966,00 Address Schlossplatz 4 91054 Erlangen See on map Region Bayern Mittelfranken Erlangen, Kreisfreie Stadt Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Administrative Contact Ulrike Hoffmann (Ms.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Other funding No data HERAEUS PRECIOUS METALS GMBH & CO.
