Photovoltaics
Innovative Solar Cell Technology Enabled by PINA Dispersions
Flexible photovoltaics play a pivotal role in addressing global warming by offering a sustainable energy solution. With their low-cost manufacturing processes and inherent flexibility, the printable solar cell market have gained significant traction, which is projected to reach $47 billion by 2032. These solar cells are not only environmentally friendly but also economically viable, contributing to the widespread adoption of renewable energy technologies.
Solar Cell's Architecture
PINA Solution: PiNA dispersions form nanostructured films below 100°C, offering high charge mobility, conductivity, transparency, and chemical stability. Compatible with printing and solution-based methods, they enable cost-effective, high-volume solar cell production. Our inks ensure uniform, conductive films for lightweight, flexible solar modules, ideal for applications from portable electronics to building-integrated photovoltaics.
The synergy between printable photovoltaics and advanced PINA dispersions represents a transformative approach to achieving sustainable energy solutions. By leveraging the unique properties of the nanomaterials, we accelerate the adoption of renewable energy technologies, mitigate the impact of global warming, and drive innovation in the rapidly evolving field of printable solar cells.
​Manufacturing Challenge: Traditional metal oxide thin film fabrication methods, like vapor deposition and sputtering, require high temperatures over 400°C, limiting their use in flexible photovoltaics. Enter PINA inks, a revolutionary wet solution printable with standard coating processes and compatible with plastic substrates, transforming flexible device manufacturing with its low drying temperature. Serving as charge transport layers (electron transport layers (ETL) and hole transport layers (HTL), PINA dispersions enhance charge collection, boosting both efficiency and durability in solar panels.
