  3. 2. The impact on the morphology of the active layer from an organic solar cell by using different solvents

    University essay from

    Author : Robbert Schelfhout; [2017]
    Keywords : organic solar cells; polymer solar cells; morphology of active layer; polymer blend; solvent annealing; spin coating; dip coating; time resolved fluorescence; steady state fluorescence; absorption spectroscopy; atomic force microscopy;

    Abstract : The rise in the world population can be correlated with an increase in energy need. Fossil fuels are not going to able to cover this need in energy because not only are they limited, they also have a negative effect on the environment. A reason the more to switch renewable energy. One of the most popular renewable energy source is solar energy. READ MORE
