“…Furthermore, a patternable brush painting process for fabrication of flexible polymer solar cells was investigated by Heo et al [80], their flexible polymer solar cell being depicted in Figure 22. Several other investigations have been carried out on brush painting (or spray coating) and flexible solar cells [81][82][83][84][85]. …”

Abstract:Building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) offer an aesthetical, economical and technical solution to integrate solar cells harvesting solar radiation to produce electricity within the climate envelopes of buildings. Photovoltaic (PV) cells may be mounted above or onto the existing or traditional roofing or wall systems. However, BIPV systems replace the outer building envelope skin, i.e., the climate screen, hence serving simultanously as both a climate screen and a power source generating electricity. Thus, BIPV may provide savings in materials and labor, in addition to reducing the electricity costs. Hence, for the BIPV products, in addition to specific requirements put on the solar cell technology, it is of major importance to have satisfactory or strict requirements of rain tightness and durability, where building physical issues like e.g., heat and moisture transport in the building envelope also have to be considered and accounted for. This work, from both a technological and scientific point of view, summarizes briefly the current state-of-the-art of BIPV, including both BIPV foil, tiles, modules and solar cell glazing products, and addresses possible research pathways for BIPV in the years to come.

“…SWNTs are a promising alternative to ITO due to the great abundance of carbon; the potential for cost reduction due to economies of scale; exceptional flexibility and conductivity; and the ability to deposit nanotube networks from solution using additive, low-temperature printing and coating processes. 5,[8][9][10][11][12][13] Carbon nanotube TCFs have been successfully utilized in organic optoelectronic devices, including light-emitting diodes, 9 photodiodes, 10 and photovoltaics. [12][13][14][15][16] However, while SWNTs have the potential to form networks with simultaneously high conductivity and high transparency, experimentally measured conductivity of transparent SWNT networks tends to be much lower than that of ITO.…”

Solutions of unbundled and unbroken single-walled carbon nanotubes have been prepared using a reductive dissolution process. Transparent conductive films spray-coated from these solutions show a nearly twofold improvement in the ratio of electrical conductivity to optical absorptivity versus those deposited from conventional aqueous dispersions, due to substantial de-aggregation and sizable nanotube lengths. These transparent electrodes have been utilized to fabricate P3HT-PCBM organic solar cells achieving power conversion efficiencies up to 2.3%, comparable to those of solar cells using indium tin oxide transparent electrodes.

The development of ultra‐compliant power sources is crucial for their seamless integration with next‐generation skin‐like wearable and implantable biomedical systems for long‐term health monitoring. Toward this goal, stretchable energy storage and conversion devices (ESCDs), including supercapacitors, lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs), solar cells, and generators are now attracting intensive worldwide research efforts. The purpose of this review is to discuss the latest achievements in the development of such stretchable energy devices in the context of biomedical applications. We first review the viable strategies and methodologies of fabricating stretchable energy storage and conversion devices. Then, we focus on description of various types of soft energy devices from a materials point of view. Furthermore, we discuss the challenges and opportunities in the design of truly conformal soft energy systems, including various key parameters, such as energy density, stability, and scalability.
