KIT in the City Hall 2018

From January 26 to February 05, 2018, KIT will present current research in the field of energy in the City Hall of Karlsruhe. In addition to lectures, there will also be an exhibition where we present our work on organic photovoltaics. For more information, please visit the homepage of the Center for Applied Cultural Sciences.

Hannover Fair 2017

At this year's Hannover Fair we were present at the KIT booth (hall 27, booth H51) with new exhibits on organic photovoltaics. We would like to thank all visitors and helpers.

      

The model of Mies van der Rohe's Farnworth House (scale 1:50), produces its own electricity with semi-transparent organic solar modules. These are embedded in various parts of the facade and thus continuously generate energy.

      

The "Solar Glasses" are self-powered by organic solar cells integrated into the lenses of the glasses. This does not only save space and weight of the battery, but also effectively uses the largest surface available on a pair of glasses for the first time: the lenses.

Gips-Schüle Foundation Prize

The work of the OPV team on solar cells made of organic nanoparticles was awarded the Gips-Schüle Foundation Prize. By using nanoparticles, toxic halogen-containing solvents can be dispensed with in the deposition of organic solar cells.

Hannover Fair 2016

At this year's Hannover Fair from April 25 to 29, we were represented at the KIT booth. Many thanks to all visitors and supporters!

 

KIC InnoEnergy Explore House video on OPV and OLED research

An insight into our research work and laboratories has recently been made available on Youtube under the topic "The light of the future is organic":

Many thanks to the team at KIC InnoEnergy's Explore House for producing the video!
