Wood Pulp Waste Powers Next-Gen Solar Cells: Discover Kraft Lignin’s Role

Revolutionizing Solar Energy with Wood Materials Researchers at Linköping University and KTH Royal Institute of Technology have made a significant stride in renewable energy technology by incorporating kraft lignin into organic solar cells (OSCs). This innovative approach uses kraft lignin, a common by-product from wood pulp, as part of the electron transport layer connected to the cathode in solar cells. The primary goal of this research is to develop solar cells that are not only efficient and reliable but also environmentally friendly and economical. Kraft Lignin: Enhancing Stability and Sustainability Kraft lignin’s ability to form numerous hydrogen bonds plays a … Continue reading Wood Pulp Waste Powers Next-Gen Solar Cells: Discover Kraft Lignin’s Role
