Hot exciton dissociation in donor / acceptor organic solar cells: breaking the efficiency limit of organic photovoltaics

澳大利亚将在几个关键领域受益于该项目，并产生直接影响。通过使用热出口解离来开发一种创新的太阳能电池结构，将提供最大可实现的功率转换效率的潜在增加。实验结果将显著推进有机太阳能电池的基础知识。这具有显著的经济效益，使这些太阳能电池更便宜，也为使用不受现有专利利益限制的新材料提供了机会。人员培训将有助于解决澳大利亚太阳能产业面临的最大挑战：高度专业化行业缺乏技术人员。

Australia will benefit from this project in several key areas with immediate impact. The development of an innovative solar cell architecture through the use of hot exiton dissociation will deliver a potential increase in the maximum achievable power conversion efficiency. The experimental results will significantly advance fundamental knowledge of organic solar cells. This has significant economic benefits by making these solar cells more affordable and also opening up the opportunity to use new materials unconstrained by existing proprietary interests. The training of personnel will contribute towards solving the biggest challenge facing the solar industry in Australia: lack of skilled personnel in a highly specialised industry.
