ASET Colloquium

The Evolution of Organic Photovoltaic

by Dr. Vinay Gupta (CSIR-National Physical Laboratory, New Delhi)

Friday, November 24, 2017 from to (Asia/Kolkata)
at AG-66
Description
Thin film Organic and hybrid photovoltaic offer a possibility of low cost, printable, light weight, and flexible photovoltaic devices. A significant development has been made in the last few years with efficiency crossing 20% barrier. We, at National Physical Laboratory, have established a state-of-the-art clean-room solar center with efficiency validation facility which is accessible to outside researchers.  In the talk, I will highlight the present status of the OPV technology and the role of NPL.
