Osaka University, Japan, has teamed up with Nippon Atomic Research and Development Corporation to develop a new technology that can increase the photoelectric conversion efficiency of organic thin-film solar cells, which can increase the conversion rate of organic thin-film solar cells by about 1%; flexibility (flexibility) The current conversion rate of organic thin-film solar cells is up to about 11%. It is reported that Osaka University will publish the results of this research and development on the electronic board of scientific journal "Scientific Reports."

According to the report, Osaka University uses a “fullerene (folk-shaped) shape” as a nanotechnology material to condense into a very thin rope (diameter of 16-20 nm) and mixes it with organic film. In a solar cell, electrons in the film can be easily moved and the conversion efficiency can be improved.

The Japanese media Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun reported on February 10th that the Japanese Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry would make money to supplement Japanese companies’ research and development as the “organic solar cell” product of next-generation solar cells, striving to make the product available in 2015. Really practical. The report pointed out that the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry plans to set up R&D projects through government-public cooperation. The goal is to allow Japanese companies to set up trial production lines in their own research institutes or factories during 2012, and to use these production lines for production in 2013-14. .
