Peptide-based diodes for solar cells (PEPDIODE)

Start date: Aug 1, 2011, End date: Jul 31, 2015,

In a solar cell that converts energy as efficient as the natural plant photosystems, electrons should travel over very short distances, through an extremely ordered structure free of traps. Guided by these principles that were worked out at WIS and CUNY, we want to synthesize many different peptides, and consecutively screen variants thereof for a putative diode function. When linked to light-harv ...
