91ֿ will host its third annual Symposium on Advances in Organic Photovoltaics (OPVs) on April 16 from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. in the Moulton Hall Ballroom on the Kent Campus. OPVs are specialized, carbon-based semiconducting materials used in solar cells, flexible electronics and organic lighting. Unlike typical inorganic solar cells that are silicon or thin-film-based, OPVs are flexible and have the potential to be produced at much lower costs than conventional solar cells through environmentally friendly processes such as jet-printing, spray painting, dip-coating and roll-to-ro...
