Start-up Ossila has launched a material designed to make organic solar cells more stable and durable.
The company announced the availability of its new material, PCDTBT, a replacement for P3HT, in a press release.
Ossila claims that polythiophene material P3HT is unstable in air, which limits its efficacy as a basis for plastic solar cells.
PCDTBT also offers quick drying suitable for manufacturing lines, according to the company.
