Department of Chemistry, University of Chicago Professor Lu Ping Yu, who has committed such a polymer plastic material. He said that the key to this technology is to improve the photoelectric conversion rate, in the past of similar material in many photoelectric conversion rate of 5% to 6%, and while the new material photoelectric conversion rates have increased to 8%, and the recent also expected to improve.
According to introduction, this result has been the United States, California, a solar energy company to buy, and in the second half of this year is expected to translate into products.
Compared to traditional silicon solar cells, such as the basic polymer plastic solar cells a new type of low cost, easy to manufacture, so has the prospect of a much broader market.
