International Summer School on Organic Photovoltaics
DATE: September 1st – 4th, 2014 / LOCATION: Strasbourg

Progress in the Organic Photovoltaic (OPV) Technology relies critically on collaborative research and development activities within a very broad field of disciplines, including organic chemistry, material developments and device engineering. It is therefore crucial for young researchers interested in this emerging technology to have access to advanced multidisciplinary training.
The first International Summer School on Organic Photovoltaics in the Upper-Rhine Valley, organized by the Rh(e)in-Solar Project Consortium, contributes to the education of young scientists by offering a series of lectures that cover all aspects from the design of new organic molecules to the continuous production of OPV modules.
The program will address the following topics:
- General concepts related to donor-acceptor bulk-heterojunction solar cells
- Design and synthesis of conjugated polymers and organic semiconductors
- Material developments for transparent electrodes and interfacial layers
- Photo-active layer morphology
- Advanced characterizations of materials and devices
- Advanced device architectures
- Device modeling
- Roll-to-roll processing of OPV modules
- Long-term device stability and encapsulation
- Economic issues

The multidisciplinary Rh(e)in-Solar network is sponsored by the Upper Rhine Valley
Interreg program. Thirteen team-members from public and private research centers and companies are collaborating to push forward the performances of the Organic
Photovoltaic Technology. Their activities cover a broad disciplinary field, from molecular synthesis to roll-to-roll processing of solar modules.

Ce projet est co-financé par l'European Regional Development Fund (ERDF)

    The imminent growth of the solar photovoltaic (PV) industry is almost certain. When observing the rising costs of coal and natural gas prices, the decrease of PV system costs, and the government support of solar technology, the PV market looks to have a significant increase in volume over the next few years. According to SolarBuzz, a website dedicated to Solar Power and Energy, The solar PV industry has reached a critical tipping point, with end-market demand hitting record levels almost every quarter. This growth is being driven by leading module suppliers and project developers that returned to profitability during 2013, and which have now established highly-effective global sales and marketing networks.” (NPD Group, Inc., 2013) The article also states that “demand in Q1’14 will also achieve record-breaking status, as the strongest first-quarter ever seen by the PV industry.” (NPD Group, Inc., 2013)…

    Isolation of Eugenol

    • 559 Words
    • 3 Pages

    In this experiment, the essential oil eugenol (the main component of oil of cloves) will be isolated from whole cloves using the technique of simple distillation, which is often used to isolate liquid natural products from plants. The mixture of whole cloves and distilled water will then be heated to boiling and the distillate (a eugenol/water mixture) will be collected. The eugenol will then be separated from the water by extraction with pentane. The pentane solutions will then be dried over magnesium sulfate, remove the magnesium sulfate by vacuum filtration and remove the pentane from the filtrate by evaporation on a water bath in the hood. The percent recovery from cloves will be determined and the product will be analyzed by transmission infrared spectroscopy (IR).…

    The industry had become extremely competitive when new players started to join the market, especially the Chinese. Within 2010 only, Chinese government had invested over $30 billions to their top five solar producers. Funded with such enormous sum, they were able to cut the solar module’s cost by 50 percent. As a consequence, SolarWorld-USA suffered a large deduction in net revenue as they became the victim of price erosion under the Chinese’s rivalry. In addition, the Chinese’s market shares have reportedly been growing more and more.…
