Self-Assembled Porphyrin-Fullerene Photovoltaic Electrodes: Towards Nanostructured Organic Solar Cells

能源可以说是当今人类面临的最重要的一个问题。廉价、高效的光伏技术的发展可能会极大地改变这一点，为人类提供可再生的、环境可接受的能源。鉴于二氧化碳产量增加带来的全球变暖的有害影响，取代目前主要以化石燃料为基础的电力发电的必要性是毋庸置疑的。在澳大利亚开发和实施廉价、高效的光伏技术不仅将确保其可持续的经济增长，还将在很大程度上促进澳大利亚土地、水、矿产和其他能源资源的利用。

Energy is arguably the single most important problem facing humanity today. The development of cheap, efficient photovoltaic technology could dramatically change this, providing humanity with renewable, environmentally acceptable energy resources. The need to replace present electrical energy generation, largely based on fossil fuel, is without argument given the detrimental effects of global warming from increasing carbon dioxide production. The development and implementation of cheap, efficient photovoltaic technologies in Australia will not only ensure its sustainable economic growth but also contribute in a major way to the improved use of land, water, mineral and other energy resources in Australia.
