OPVStability

OPVStability aims to identify robust molecular structures and device configurations that enable both efficiency and long-term stability in organic photovoltaics. The project seeks to develop a comprehensive understanding of degradation pathways on molecular level and stability-enhancing factors across materials, interfaces, and morphological aspects. Additionally, it strives to create predictive tools for assessing device longevity and to devise strategies for producing durable organic solar cells.

Given the inherent complexity and the limited progress made so far in studying the stability of organic solar cells—primarily due to the highly interconnected nature of the problem—OPVStability will implement an innovative, holistic approach. This will involve high-throughput methodologies, big data analytics, multiscale characterisation techniques, and advanced simulations to systematically address the challenge.

The consortium consists of 10 academic partners as well as 5 industrial partners.
