U.S. scientists develop silver-free PEDOT:PSS adhesive for shingled solar cells

Researchers from the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) have developed a new silver-free adhesive for shingled solar cells. The novel adhesive is based the PEDOT:PSS polymer and can reportedly reduce silver consumption to approximately 6. 3 mg/W. A group of scientists from the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) demonstrated that conjugated polymers, which are a class of electronically conductive plastic materials, can be used as an intrinsically conductive adhesive (ICA) to shingled solar cells together. "This is a new application for a unique class of plastic materials that we ...
