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 acollaboration 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 OPVdevelopment and commercialization, we will develop the materials and processes compatible withlarge-scale OPV manufacturing. Team members of this project have the expertise of materialschemistry, process development, characterization, device characterization and modulemanufacturing. Specifically, we will focus on (i) design and synthesis of scalable donor and nonfullereneacceptor materials, (ii) development of charge extraction materials, (iii) processdevelopment compatible with roll-to-roll processing, (iv) detailed structural characterization, (v)device physics characterization and failure analysis, (vi) incorporating the materials and processesdeveloped under this program into the Phillips 66 roll-to-roll process line. The final objective is todevelop scalable materials and processes that can be used in large-scale OPV manufacturing atPhillips 66.
