»Chemical Data Mining Boosts Search for New Organic Semiconductors
Feb. 15, 2019 — Producing traditional solar cells made of silicon is very energy intensive. On top of that, they are rigid and brittle. Organic semiconductor materials, on the other hand, are flexible and lightweight. They would be a promising alternative, if only their efficiency and stability were on par with traditional cells. Together with his […]
