AboutAbout the lab
Making solar cells from organic materials
The Organic Electronics Chemistry Lab studies solar cells that use organic semiconductors and organic-inorganic hybrid materials.
Solar cells made from organic semiconductors are attracting attention because they are low-cost, lightweight, flexible, and offer excellent design versatility.
Perovskite solar cells are expected to achieve ultra-high efficiency when combined with silicon solar cells in a tandem configuration.
Professor Yuji Yoshida is a researcher at the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) and also serves as a professor of a cooperative chair in the Chemistry Degree Program at the University of Tsukuba.
Key terms
- Organic semiconductor
- A semiconductor used as a material for organic solar cells. Its use in low-cost, lightweight, flexible solar cells is attracting attention.
- Perovskite solar cell
- A high-efficiency solar cell made from organic-inorganic hybrid materials. It can be fabricated by coating and printing, and is expected to reduce costs.
- Tandem configuration
- Stacking solar cells to increase efficiency. Stacking with silicon solar cells is especially anticipated.
ResearchResearch themes
The lab studies solar cells that use organic semiconductors and organic-inorganic hybrid materials. Its research rests on two pillars: organic thin-film solar cells and perovskite solar cells.
*Illustrative imageOrganic thin-film solar cells
The lab studies low-cost, lightweight, flexible solar cells made from organic semiconductors. Taking advantage of these features, it works on see-through solar cells, light harvesters for indoor light, and heat-shielding applications.
*Illustrative imagePerovskite solar cells
Perovskite solar cells are made of organic-inorganic hybrid materials and can be fabricated by coating and printing. The lab studies the use of organic semiconductors as buffer layers and the growth of perovskite crystals from solution.
