Nanomaterials and nanotechnology for advanced photovoltaics (NanoPV)
Start date: Mar 1, 2011, End date: Feb 28, 2014,
The NanoPV project aims at making a breakthrough step-change in photovoltaics by the removal of a set of bottlenecks which have been identified to block the application of nanostructures for high-efficiency, low-cost solar cells. The bottlenecks arise from the present lack of up-scalable processes that can meet the needs for nanomaterials in PV applications, and the lack of relevant equipment and ...
