Plastics suppliers are racing to show that they can provide the best materials for those cells. "We believe that the global requirements for energy are increasing, and there is a strong desire for ...

Thin-film solar cells made with amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) or organic semiconductors are considered as promising renewable energy sources due to their low manufacturing cost and light weight. However, ...

Solar-cell manufacturers typically don’t offer a gift-wrapping option, but they may start to do so. A new study reports that the right wrapping material and method can curtail decomposition processes ...

The polymer solar cell is able to retain 97% of its performance after 2,000 hours in air. By blending small-molecule acceptors into polymeric matrices, the research team improved molecular packing, ...

Researchers have developed a process for fabricating more efficient polymer solar cells. They discovered a textured substrate pattern that allows deposition of a uniformly thin light-absorbing layer.

A new approach to elucidate the operation and control of Polymer Electrolyte Membrane (PEM) fuel cells is being developed. A global reactor engineering approach is applied to PEM fuel cells to ...

Small bits of metal may play a new role in solar power. Researchers are experimenting with polymer semiconductors that absorb the sun's energy and generate electricity. The goal: lighter, cheaper, and ...

The "Leadership Quadrant and Strategic Positioning of Polymer Suppliers" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering. The polymer manufacture landscape is diverse and continually ...
