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

Descripción del proyecto

Una tecnología fotovoltaica orgánica más barata y duradera

La forma más rápida de reducir las emisiones de efecto invernadero es acelerar la transición energética de Europa. Teniendo en cuenta que se espera que las fuentes de energía renovables contribuyan a aproximadamente un tercio de la reducción de emisiones hasta 2040, el equipo del proyecto financiado con fondos europeos LABandFAB introducirá una tecnología fotovoltaica orgánica (FVO) estable que es novedosa, rentable y fácil de producir. Podría imprimirse en sustratos flexibles que, además, serían escalables y podrían producirse rápidamente. Para ello, el objetivo del proyecto tendrá una doble vertiente: la creación de módulos FVO impresos de última generación para aumentar su eficacia y durabilidad y el descubrimiento de nuevos materiales para mejorar los procesos de impresión.

Objetivo

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.
