Energy harvesting technologies

CEF focuses on eco-friendly energy solutions using organic semiconductors suitable for large-scale printing. They develop high-efficiency solar cells for diverse settings and integrate advanced power management circuits, offering comprehensive, sustainable energy-harvesting systems.

To mitigate climate change, we are working towards providing scalable and eco-friendly solutions for energy harvesting.

The key is the use of organic semiconductors, which have unique optoelectronic properties, require low processing temperatures, and can be simply manufactured through printing methods, enabling large-scale commercialisation. Our research also focuses on a careful consideration of the materials selection in terms of sustainability and upscaling feasibility.

We are developing high-efficiency organic solar cells for indoor and outdoor applications and evaluating their long-term stability. Combined with our group’s expertise in designing integrated circuits for efficient power-management, CEF can provide full system solutions for a wide range of energy-harvesting technologies.
