As part of the EU project PERSEUS, Fraunhofer FEP is developing new optically effective surface structures for perovskite solar cells. By using roll-to-roll nanoimprint lithography (NIL), reflection losses are minimized, and efficiency of solar cells increased. In the Design-PV project, decorative surfaces for facade-integrated photovoltaic modules are developed using NIL. The … [Read more...] about Researchers developing R2R nanoimprint lithography for more efficient photovoltaics
