Development of Solution-Processed Zinc Oxide Nano Ink for High-Performance Organic Photovoltaics

This project, led by PINA Creation Inc. in collaboration with Simon Fraser University (SFU), focuses on developing a new zinc oxide (ZnO) nano ink for use in organic solar cells. Traditional ZnO layers require high temperatures and complex fabrication, making them expensive and difficult to scale. By creating a low-cost, solution-based ZnO ink, this project aims to improve efficiency, stability, and ease of manufacturing for next-generation solar cells. The research includes developing the ink, applying it in solar cells, and testing performance to ensure reliability. The results will help advance clean energy technology, making solar power more affordable and scalable. This work will contribute to scientific publications, industry partnerships, and commercialization efforts, positioning PINA Creation Inc. as a leader in sustainable nanomaterials.
