Abstract: Disclosed herein are stable organic photosensitive devices including at least one exciton-blocking charge carrier filter. The filters comprise a mixture of at least one wide energy gap material having a sufficiently high glass transition temperature, e.g., higher than the temperature or temperature range at which the device typically operates, higher than a highest operating temperature of the device, higher than a threshold temperature value, etc. and at least one electron or hole conducting material. As described herein, the novel filters simultaneously block excitons and conduct the desired charge carrier (electrons or holes).

Abstract: There is disclosed a method of preparing a photovoltaic device. In particular, the method comprises making thin-film GaAs solar cells integrated with low-cost, thermoformed, lightweight and wide acceptance angle mini-CPCs. The fabrication combines ND-ELO thin film cells that are cold-welded to a foil substrate, and subsequently attached to the CPCs in an adhesive-free transfer printing process. There is also disclosed an improved photovoltaic device made by the disclosed method. The improved photovoltaic device comprises a thin-film solar integrated with non-tracking mini-compound parabolic concentrators, wherein the plastic compound parabolic concentrator comprise two parabolas tilted at an angle equal to the acceptance angle of the compound parabolic concentrator.

Abstract: There is disclosed a method of preparing a photovoltaic device. In particular, the method comprises integrating epitaxial lift-off solar cells with mini-parabolic concentrator arrays via a printing method. Thus, there is disclosed a method comprising providing a growth substrate; depositing at least one protection layer on the growth substrate; depositing at least one sacrificial layer on the protection layer; depositing at least one photoactive cell on the sacrificial layer; etching a pattern of at least two parallel trenches that extend from the at least one photoactive cell to the sacrificial layer; depositing a metal on the at least one photoactive cell; bonding said metal to a host substrate; and removing the sacrificial layer with one or more etch steps.

Abstract: A device comprising a thin film solar cell with an integrated flexible antenna, such as a meander line antenna, is disclosed. In an embodiment, the device comprises a substrate and an array of solar cells disposed on the substrate, wherein the array of solar cells are interconnected by metal conductors that carry DC power from the solar cells and which form at least part of the flexible antenna. In their capacity as an antenna, the metal conductors operate cooperatively with the solar cells to radiate an RF signal, receive an RF signal, or both radiate and receive an RF signal. The device optionally comprises a choke disposed on the substrate and electrically coupled to the array of solar cells, wherein the choke operates to impede conduction of the RF signal. A method of making the disclosed device is also disclosed.
