Advanced Dyes for Printed Organic Photovoltaics

This project aims to develop advanced power sources that can convert indoor light into electricity to operate electronic sensors for the Internet of things. The proposed new technology is termed “indoor photovoltaics”. The aim is to create flexible, lightweight, semi-transparent devices of different colours at a minimal cost. Using new chemistry principles, photoactive material design, device engineering, advanced printing and electrical connections, this team aims to deliver fully functional indoor power devices ready for market evaluation.
