Research Report on Nanopillars and Solar Cells

An effort by humans to harness the abundant source of solar energy available around us has manifested in the form solar energy being converted to many applications as diverse as heat channelizing, electricity conversion, electro mechanical applications and many more as these. The dream of solar energy for human applications was realized in the early part of this century by the invention of solar cells which when arranged in photovoltaic arrays deliver power for bigger applications.

Market Research Report Released on Barrier Films for Flexible Electronics

The biggest opportunity for OLED displays and organic photovoltaics is when these devices can be flexible, allowing them to be more robust, versatile and made in large areas compared to conventional displays and photovoltaics. However, many of the materials used in OLED displays and organic photovoltaics are sensitive to the environment, limiting their lifetime. These materials can be protected using substrates and barriers such as glass and metal, but this results in a rigid device and does not satisfy the applications demanding flexible devices. Plastic substrates and transparent flexible encapsulation barriers can be used, but these offer little protection to oxygen and water, resulting in the devices rapidly degrading.
