An original flexible structure for Organic Photovoltaic Devices
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 17 March 2011
Abstract
A simple idea is proposed for the realization of organic photovoltaic devices on flexible substrates. According to this, a poly(ethylene terephtalate) layer (Mylar), transparent, a few micrometers thick and completely flexible, works as mechanical support. It is an insulating material, which has good mechanical and dielectric properties and, most important, it is completely transparent to ultraviolet light. For this reason it could be suitable for being used as transparent supporting layer for large area photovoltaic devices. Furthermore, its mechanical properties allow to employ it in a roll-to-roll lamination procedure that could give rise to low cost extended films carrying solar cells on the surface.
