0243011Kumar Description: This award supports the US-India Cooperative Research: Development and Characterization of Conjugated Polymer Films Suitable for Photovoltaic Devices. US PI Jayant Kumar, University of Massachusetts Lowell and P.K. Bhatnagar, University of Delhi will study conjugated polymeric thin film solar cells with particular emphasis on material properties and material issues in device performance. Polymer-Polymer, Polymer-Fullerene and Inorganic-Polymer solar cells will be developed using spin casting, electrostatic deposition and vacuum evaporation techniques. The objective is to obtain interpenetrating homogenous nanostructure to improve the quality of the photovoltaic devices. Scope: The collaboration brings together the combined expertise of two active research groups in the area of photovoltaics. The Indian group has expertise in design, fabrication and characterization in organic semiconductor solar cells; the US group has considerable experience in organic and conjugated polymer devices. The interaction is expected to lead to synergistic advances in the development and application in environmentally attractive solar energy solutions with potential global benefits. This research has a strong educational component in so far as it includes broad student participation. This activity is funded by the Indian Department of Science & Technology (DST) under the NSF/DST joint program.

描述：该奖项支持美印合作研究：开发和表征适用于光伏器件的共轭聚合物薄膜。美国麻省大学洛厄尔分校的PI Jayant Kumar和德里大学的P.K. Bhatnagar将研究共轭聚合物薄膜太阳能电池，特别强调材料特性和器件性能中的材料问题。聚合物-聚合物、聚合物-富勒烯和无机-聚合物太阳能电池将采用自旋铸造、静电沉积和真空蒸发技术开发。目的是获得互穿的均匀纳米结构，以提高光伏器件的质量。范围：此次合作汇集了光伏领域两个活跃研究小组的专业知识。这家印度集团在有机半导体太阳能电池的设计、制造和表征方面拥有专业知识；该美国集团在有机和共轭聚合物器件方面拥有丰富的经验。预期这种相互作用将导致在开发和应用具有环境吸引力的太阳能解决办法方面取得协同进展，并有潜在的全球效益。这项研究有很强的教育成分，因为它包括广泛的学生参与。该活动由印度科学技术部（DST）在NSF/DST联合项目下资助。
