basic information
**Lecture 1: Overview of the Presentation** In recent years, polymer solar cells using blend films of conjugated polymers and fullerene derivatives as the active layer have attracted attention as next-generation solar cells. Polymer solar cells can be fabricated through a simple process of applying a solution, and with the application of printing technology, mass production is also possible, which is expected to significantly reduce production costs. For practical application, further improvements in efficiency are required, and capturing near-infrared sunlight is essential for this. This presentation will introduce dye-sensitized polymer solar cells, which are produced from a simple process of mixing three types of materials: conjugated polymers, fullerenes, and phthalocyanine-based dyes that have an absorption band in the near-infrared region, resulting in an expanded light-harvesting range and improved conversion efficiency. **Lecture 3: Overview of the Presentation** Looking ahead, we will discuss organic thin-film solar cells, which are expected to have new developments in the solar cell market. We will focus on a new concept organic thin-film solar cell being developed by Mitsubishi Chemical, outlining its features and milestones toward enhancing the performance of organic solar cells. We will also introduce efforts aimed at market introduction as a next-generation battery in the solar cell market, which is expected to expand.
