Vapour and solution combinatory manufacturing methods for organic solar cells based on novel phthalocyanines.

有机太阳能电池（OSCs）利用碳基半导体代替传统的硅基材料，这代表了制造和能源成本的显著降低。我们提议的项目的目标是利用我们最近在这一领域的研究成果，并专注于功能性有机材料的开发，这将使使用各种制造方法和组合在轻质塑料基板上制造OSCs成为可能。我们的目标是通过结合溶液和蒸汽处理来改善OSCs的性能和稳定性。这个项目将有一个动态反馈回路，考虑到各种结果，因为我们朝着一个坚定的OSC原型设计前进。除了制造，我们还将确定可持续的、可扩展的和能源负责的化学制造工艺，用于生产硼亚酞菁（BsubPcs）和硅酞菁（SiPcs），这些材料将应用到我们的OSC设计中。通过多伦多大学、渥太华大学、加拿大施乐研究中心和1-Materials之间的合作，我们希望通过设备制造和化学制造，明确定义osc商业化的途径。

Organic solar cells (OSCs) utilize carbon based semiconductors instead of the conventional silicon based materials, which represents significant reductions in manufacturing and energetic costs. The objective of our proposed project is to leverage our recent research results in this area and focus on the development of functional organic materials that will enable the fabrication of OSCs on light weight plastic substrates using a variety and combination of manufacturing methods. We will target improved performance and stability of the resulting OSCs through combining solution and vapour processing. This project will have a dynamic feedback loop considering a variety of results as we move forward towards a firm OSC prototype design. In addition to manufacturing, we will also identify sustainable, scalable and energy responsible chemical manufacturing processes for the production of boron subphthalocyanines (BsubPcs) and silicon phthalocyanines (SiPcs), materials which will be implemented into our OSC design. Through this partnership between the University of Toronto, University of Ottawa, Xerox Research Center of Canada and 1-Materials, we expect to clearly define a pathway to commercialization for OSCs through device manufacturing and chemical manufacturing.
