LEITAT, along with all the partners of the MatHero project, met at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) in Karlsruhe, Germany, on the 29th and 30th of January 2014, for the project kick-off meeting.
The multidisciplinary consortium of the MatHero project, titled «New Materials for Highly Efficient and Reliable Organic Solar Cells,» aims to increase power conversion efficiency, reduce production costs, and improve the long-term stability of materials and devices. A key to achieving these objectives is the use of environmentally friendly («green») synthesis of materials and green deposition techniques, as only green synthesis enables large-scale material and device fabrication. MatHero will focus on optimizing these key parameters to enable devices with a power conversion efficiency exceeding 10%, a cost reduction below 0.5 €/Wp, and a lifetime of more than 10 years by developing disruptive green synthesis and fabrication techniques.
