New polymer property could boost accessible solar power

Urbana IL (SPX) Jun 07, 2022
Lightweight as a window cling and replicable as a newspaper, organic solar cells are emerging as a viable solution for the nation’s growing energy demand. Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign are the first to observe a biological property called chirality emerging in achiral conjugated polymers, which are used to design flexible solar cells. Their discovery could help This article was originally published by Solardaily.com. Read the original article here.
