Solar cells light up with water-soluble polymer
Abstract:
Researchers at Virginia Commonwealth University, US, have made bilayer heterojunction solar cells from a water-soluble thiophene polymer and a nanocrystalline titanium dioxide layer. The fabrication process was environmentally friendly because it did not require the use of organic solvents.
