Solar Polymers Based on Fullerenes
Virginia Tech researchers use nano-scale polymer materials to develop next-generation flexible solar panels. ...
... "Virginia Tech researchers are creating flexible photovoltaic devices, or solar cells, by building up nanometer-thick layers of materials selected for their ability to self-assemble and to convert light to electricity. The researchers are using polymers and molecules called fullerenes. The advantages of these carbon-based (organic) materials over silicon are flexibility and light weight. " ...
