KIT Coordinates “MatHero” Project Related to Sustainable and
Low-cost Production Methods – EC Funds Project with EUR 3.5 Million
Environmentally compatible production methods for organic
solar cells from novel materials are in the focus of “MatHero”. The new project
coordinated by Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) aims at making organic
photovoltaics competitive to their inorganic counterparts by enhancing the
efficiency of organic solar cells, reducing their production costs and
increasing their life-time. “Green” processes for materials synthesis and
coating play a key role. “MatHero” is funded by the European Commission with an
amount of EUR 3.5 million.
