The world is in the midst of a climate crisis driven by mankind's insatiable demand for fossil-fuel energy. Renewable technologies such as solar and wind will undoubtedly form part of our future energy mix. Solar cells in particular have great potential- especially in sunny countries like Australia. The uptake of solar cell technology is hampered by their current high cost and long payback time. This project concerns the development of new solar cells based upon novel organic materials called dendrimers. These materials can be solution processed and will dramatically reduce cost and payback time in next generation devices.

世界正处于人类对化石燃料能源永无止境的需求所引发的气候危机之中。太阳能和风能等可再生技术无疑将成为我们未来能源结构的一部分。太阳能电池尤其具有巨大的潜力——尤其是在澳大利亚等阳光明媚的国家。目前太阳能电池技术的高成本和长投资回收期阻碍了其应用。该项目涉及基于称为树枝状聚合物的新型有机材料开发新型太阳能电池。这些材料可以进行溶液处理，并将显着降低下一代设备的成本和投资回收时间。
