摘要: The characteristics of a power producing flexible wire based on organic photovoltaics (OPV) and the processes by which they are produced described in this paper. A set materials coating formulations used electrode wires very similar to those development two dimensional photovoltaic cells modules. active layer primary comprises bulk heterojunction-forming P3HT/PCBM (1:1 weight ratio) that has been extensively studied planar cells. second wire, is wrapped around coated, serves as counter electrode. Ray tracing analysis indicates light incident focused cladding onto layer, even when it completely shadowed Furthermore, position partially shadows significant percentage reflected ele...
