The Development of Scalable Materials and Processes for OPV Modules
Abstract
This research project on development of scalable materials and processes for OPV modules is a collaboration between NC State University, Georgia Tech, the University of Colorado at Boulder, and Phillips 66. Through the collaboration with Phillips 66, which is an industrial leader in OPV development and commercialization, we will develop the materials and processes compatible with large-scale OPV manufacturing. Team members of this project have the expertise of materials chemistry, process development, characterization, device characterization and module manufacturing. Specifically, we will focus on (i) design and synthesis of scalable donor and nonfullerene acceptor materials, (ii) development of charge extraction materials, (iii) process development compatible with roll-to-roll processing, (iv) detailed structural characterization, (v) device physics characterization and failure analysis, (vi) incorporating the materials and processes developed under this program into the Phillips 66 roll-to-roll process line. The final objective is to develop an understanding of the material characteristics that enable facile processing and high performance and demonstrate specific scalable materials and processes that could be used in large-scale OPV manufacturing at Phillips 66.
