Envision a green future, where solar cells are ubiquitous, integrated into everything from backpacks to roofing materials. This vision could become a reality with printable plastic solar cells, where organic semiconductors are used to convert sunlight into electricity. The next Science Café Cleveland discussion will give attendees the opportunity to learn about plastic solar cells, as well as state-of-the art research in the field and outlook towards the future.
Geneviève Sauvé, the Hovorka Associate Professor in Chemistry, will lead the discussion, titled “Plastic Solar Cells for a Greener Future,” Monday, April 11, from 7 to 8 p.m. at the Music Box Supper Club Concert Hall (1148 Main Ave.).
The CWRU chapter of Sigma Xi, WCPN ideastream and the Music Box Supper Club sponsor Science Café Cleveland.
