Semi-transparent photovoltaic (ST-PV) technologies can be applied to replace facades and roofs in conventional buildings and coatings on vehicles to produce energy from sunlight. The current ST-PV technology is Si-based, but although Si achieves adequate efficiencies, it compromises on aesthetic app...

Fullerenes have formed an integral part of high performance organic solar cells over the last 20 years, however their inherent limitations in terms of synthetic flexibility, cost and stability have acted as a motivation to develop replacements; the so-called non-fullerene electron acceptors. A rapid...

Daniel´s and Alan´s review “Accelerating the discovery of materials for clean energy in the era of smart automation” which is based on the Mission Innovation Conference in Mexico City, September 2017,just went online in Nature Reviews Materials. The discovery and development of novel materials in...

In the manuscript “Analyzing the efficiency, stability and cost potential for fullerene-free organic photovoltaics in one Figure of Merit” Ning effectively combined the prediction of efficiencies with experimentally determined stability data to analyze and forecast the commercial potential of a NFA-...

i-MEET has recently been granted a new research project called CESSY, which focuses on the development hybrid solar collectors which combine photovoltaic power generation with solar thermal hot water generation. Thereby, these devices have the potential of not only increasing the overall energy effi...
