Polymer - Carbon Nanotubes Active Systems for Photovoltaics (POCAONTAS)

Start date: Nov 1, 2012, End date: Oct 31, 2016,

Organic solar cells (OSC) feature several advantages over “classical” silicon solar cells: low cost, energy effective production, low weight and semi-transparency. This makes them apt for novel applications like, building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) with high market potential. However, both the efficiency and the long-term stability must be enhanced for OSCs to become profitable. POCAONTAS wil ...

DyE SensiTized solar cells wIth eNhanced stabilitY (Destiny)

Start date: Nov 1, 2012, End date: Oct 31, 2016,

The DESTINY initial training network will tackle major challenges in the development of stable dye-sensitized solar cells, DSC. DSC offer exciting possibilities for applications in building integrated photovoltaics and consumer electronics. However they possess a complex structure with disparate materials. For DSC to be marketable and to compete with its inorganic counterparts, fundamental science ...

Meso-superstructured Hybrid Solar Cells (MESO)

Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Oct 31, 2016,

"In this project we will develop a new class of low cost solution processible hybrid solar cells, termed ""mesosuperstructured solar cells"" (MSSCs) which are based on Perovskite absorbers and organic hole-conductors. This technology has already proven to be remarkably efficient on its first reduction to practice, but has tremendous scope to compete with the very best crystalline semiconductor and ...

Photogenerated Hydrogen by Organic Catalytic Systems (PHOCS)

Start date: Dec 1, 2012, End date: Nov 30, 2015,

Aim of the project “Photogenerated Hydrogen by Organic Catalytic Systems (PHOCS)” is the realization of a new-concept,photoelectrochemical system for hydrogen production, based on the hybrid organic/inorganic and organic/liquid interfaces. PHOCS takes the move from the recent demonstration of reduction/oxidation reactions taking place, under visible light and at zero bias, at the interface of an o ...

Destabilization of the Epithelial Tissue Architecture by Competition with e-cadherin Homo-dimer formation: small molecule-induced disruption of the epithelium integrity and functions (DETACH)

Start date: Nov 1, 2010, End date: Oct 31, 2014,

"Cadherin expression on the surface of cells is critical for cell-cell adhesion and, consequently, for the development and the integrity of solid tissues. In mammals, impaired cadherin mediated adhesion has been implicated in all steps of tumor progression. E-cadherin, a prominent member of the cadherin family, is expressed on the surface of epithelial cells in the digestive tract, in the lungs as ...

Inkjet-Printed organic Photodetectors for Imaging Applications (IPPIA)

Start date: Sep 1, 2011, End date: Aug 31, 2014,

"The recent development of a wide range of solution processable functional materials, especially organic semiconductors and highly conducting metal inks, and the broad availability of graphical arts printing technologies are at the base of a revolution which will lead to the fabrication of organic opto-electronics devices by means of high-throughput, inexpensive mass production processes. Additive ...

Delayed Luminescence Spectroscopy of Organic Photovoltaic Systems (DELUMOPV)

Start date: May 16, 2012, End date: May 15, 2014,

"This project aims to accomplish an understanding of the processes that currently limit the power conversion efficiency of solution-processed organic photovoltaic (OPV) devices, by identifying the factors that are responsible for the losses in device photocurrent generation. In particular, attention will be given to the origin of the photocurrent generation losses in OPV devices that take place du ...
