Prof. Trisha L. Andrews will be speaking about “Application and Collaboration Driven Approaches to Creating Organic Nanostructured Electronics on Thursday, February 11, at 4:00PM in Bren 1424.

Molecular and polymeric organic materials are promising replacements for the inorganic semiconductors in photovoltaic cells due to their large absorption coefficients and easy processing and deposition procedures. Non-traditional nanostructured devices on inexpensive and arbitrary substrates can be fabricated with high throughput using organic materials, leading to vanishingly low module costs. Recent highlights in fabricating functional solar cell arrays on paper and prewoven textiles will be discussed.
