Enabling the scalable and cheap production of efficient and stable organic-based photovoltaic technology realized via printing techniques, for electricity generation

Projektbeschreibung

Günstigere, haltbarere organische Solartechnologie

Die schnellste Möglichkeit, die Treibhausgasemissionen zu senken, ist die Beschleunigung der Energiewende in Europa. Erneuerbare Energiequellen sollen bis 2040 zu einem Drittel der eingesparten Emissionen beitragen. Daher wird das EU-finanzierte Projekt LABandFAB neuartige, kostengünstige und einfach herzustellende stabile organische Solartechnologie einführen. Der Druck könnte auf flexiblen Substraten erfolgen, die skalierbar und schnell produzierbar sind. Das Projekt wird zwei Fronten gleichzeitig angehen: die Konstruktion modernster gedruckter organischer Solarmodule mit mehr Leistungsfähigkeit und Haltbarkeit sowie die Bestimmung neuer Materialien für bessere Druckverfahren.

Ziel

The reduction of greenhouse emissions is currently acknowledged as a major European objective, and by 2040 a 40% emissions cut is expected, with renewable sources contributing up to 27%. In this respect LAB&FAB aims at developing the fabrication of efficient, cheap and stable organic photovoltaic (OPV) technology printed on flexible substrates, which will be scalable and eventually transferred from a lab-environment to production line.
LAB&FAB action will spread on the two parallel fronts: the pilot-scale on one side, and the lab-scale on the other. At the pilot-scale, LAB&FAB will exploit state-of-the art printed OPV modules to push their efficiency, while doubling their lifetime by the end of the project. Long-term stability tests will be carried out and allow for a complete durability assessment, while technological improvements will be introduced to target the efficiency/lifetime goals, as specific weaknesses will be spotted. At the lab scale, novel and efficient materials will be thoroughly explored and characterised and optimised printing protocols will be established for their subsequent integration into solar cells large-area production. Degradation tests will also help assess the materials/devices performance, and at the end of fellowship new efficiency/lifetime benchmarks for such scaled OPV cells will be set.
The Experienced Researcher (ER) acquired a solid background on physics of OPV, and thanks to this fellowship she will capitalise and expand it toward more technologically-based challenges related to its technology upscaling. The Host Institution ENI (Italy) is embracing a full transition toward a low-carbon scenario, and thanks to the multidisciplinary aspects of LAB&FAB (covering physics, device engineering, and intellectual property management just to name a few) the Host will be able to offer the ER the perfect environment for future growth and advancement of her professional career in the non-academic sector.
