摘要: Recently there has been growing interest in developing smart photovoltaic fabric devices. These devices could be used as a sustainable and ubiquitous power source for wearable other electronic Three woven structures were constructed with fiber-shaped organic wire from Konarka Technologies, Inc. (Lowell, MA, USA). The is flexible, lightweight shaped fiber based on bulk hetero-junction nanocomposites. conversion characteristics of fabrics developed thoroughly investigated. It was found that the efficiency depends incident light quality; cover factor, swatch size, weave structure. This study also includes model understanding effects different geometry fabrics. predicts performance shape, size structures, it provides design criteria more efficient device.
