This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project will develop low cost / high volume manufacturing methods for plastic organic solar cells. Ink jet printing will be utilized because it is an additive technology with low pollution, that is non-contact and digitally controlled (flexible). Recent promising developments in the field of organic photovoltaic cells cannot be taken directly to production because there is no manufacturing technology suitable for making them in volume at lowest cost. This project will use the unique microscale printing ability of ink jet technology to precisely deposit the active materials by printing on plastic substrates to form photovoltaic solar cells arrays. The current organic bulk heterojunction material systems are most suited to ink jet printing and show improved performance over their predecessors. This project will use single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNT), and poly (3-octylthiophene) (P3OT). These materials represent some of the newest work in the field. The commercial potential of this technology will be low cost, plastic film-based solar cells.

这个小企业创新研究（SBIR）第一阶段项目将开发低成本/大批量的塑料有机太阳能电池制造方法。喷墨印刷将被利用，因为它是一种低污染的添加剂技术，即非接触和数字控制（柔性）。最近有机光伏电池领域的有希望的发展不能直接投入生产，因为没有合适的制造技术以最低的成本批量生产它们。该项目将利用喷墨技术独特的微尺度印刷能力，通过印刷在塑料基材上精确沉积活性材料，形成光伏太阳能电池阵列。目前的有机体异质结材料系统最适合喷墨打印，并表现出比其前身更好的性能。该项目将使用单壁碳纳米管（SWNT）和聚（3-辛基噻吩）（P3OT）。这些材料代表了这个领域的一些最新成果。这项技术的商业潜力将是低成本的塑料薄膜太阳能电池。
