BASF: Solar cell technology based on organic materials


(M2 PressWIRE Via Acquire Media NewsEdge)
RDATE:10092008

In organic photovoltaics dyes are used that are able to convert light
into electrical energy. Due to the extremely thin photovoltaic layer,
flexible or even transparent organic solar cells can be produced. For
instance, windows could be coated with organic solar cells and produce
electricity.

In this podcast you will learn how organic photovoltaics helps to
produce solar cells with completely new qualities.

BASF Corporate Communications started a regular bilingual Podcast
service in April 2007 to report on BASFs innovations and research and
development activities in an easy-to-understand, informative and
entertaining way.

Listen to the audio reportage with Dr. Peter Erk (Technical coordinator
of the Organic Photovoltaic Project at BASF), Dr.

Karl Hensen (BASF Future Business GmbH).
