- Conversion Efficiency of 8.0% on Organic Film. Application
in Roll-to-Roll production in sight -
- Towards realizing solar cells usable anytime, anywhere -
The R&D Center (Director: Satoshi Uenoyama) of Sekisui
Chemical Co., Ltd. (President: Naofumi Negishi, hereinafter called
"Sekisui Chemical"), working together with Chief Researcher Shingo
Hirose, Prime Senior Researcher Jun Akedo and others of the Advanced Coating
Technology Platform Research Team, Advanced Manufacturing Research Institute
(Research Institute Director: Masanobu Awano), of the National Institute of
Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (President: Ryoji Chubachi,
hereinafter called “AIST”), have made the world's first successful trial of
film dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC) in a room temperature process using the
aerosol deposition method (a high-speed ambient temperature coating process for
ceramic materials; hereinafter called the "AD method"), without
utilizing the previously required high-temperature firing (according to
research by our company, as of December 5, 2013).
