Award List:

STTR Phase I: New polymers for 10% efficiency organic photovoltaic cells

Award Year / Program / Phase: 2010 / STTR / Phase I
Agency: NSF
Research Institution: University of California-Los Angeles
Principal Investigator: Jianhui Hou, PhD
Award Amount: $149,313.00
RI Contact: Yang Yang
Abstract:
This Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase I project aims to develop high efficiency polymers for organic photovoltaic cells (OPVs). OPVs based on polymers are ideal for environmentally-benign and affordable energy generation. However, the efficiency of OPVs is still low compared to… More

Award Year / Program / Phase: 2011 / SBIR / Phase I
Agency: NSF
Principal Investigator: Yue Wu
Award Amount: $149,984.00
Abstract:
This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project aims to demonstrate 10% energy conversion efficiency for Organic Photovoltaics (OPVs) through the design and synthesis of new acceptor materials. Polymer-based OPV technology is ideal for clean and affordable energy generation because of… More

Development of roll-roll processed, low-cost, and flexible organic solar cells

Award Year / Program / Phase: 2011 / SBIR / Phase I
Agency: DOD
Principal Investigator: Vishal Shrotriya, Director of OPV Lifetime – (626) 456-8090
Award Amount: $99,920.00
Abstract:
Solar cells based on organic materials, also called organic photovoltaic cells (OPVs), have attracted broad research interest due to their low-cost, flexibility and light weight. However, OPV technology remains in pre-commercial stage primarily due to the lack of manufacturing process. Despite a lot… More
