Window integrated solar collector

  • Head of research Wolfgang Fritzsche
  • Language n/a

The windows developed in this project will prevent the heat from solar radiation from entering buildings, and instead convert that to usable energy. Thus, the need for air conditioning is drastically reduced without compromising daylight illumination. On the other hand, our widows will also increase the use of solar power by integrating the collectors directly into the facades of buildings.

Bulk hetero junction (BHJ) solar cells based on thienylvinylene oligomers

The objective of the proposed collaboration is to develop new molecules for organic photovoltaics, study their properties thoroughly in solutions and bulk solid state, and to prepare bulk heterojunction (BHJ) organic solar cell with enhanced efficiency. The main goals of the project are on: i) synthesis of new thienylvinylene oligomers and polymers for organic solar cells; ii) understanding of their photophysical and photoelectrical characteristics and their function in a photo-device, iii) assembly of the photoactive materials into prototype photo-cells to gain significant enhancement in organic solar cell efficiency and stability.
