WHAT POLYMER-BASED MEANS • thin film polymer to change energy from the sun to electric current • Materials • Donates electrons • Accepts electrons • Two possible processes • Photosynthesis approach • Full organic approach • Photosynthesis • Highly porous film • Electrolytes • Full-Organic • Electron acceptor and an electron donor
Problems Present problem with high temperatures Highlights Less costly than present options Can make any size needed Can change the shape and color Light weight THIN FILM (pros-cons)
USAGE EXAMPLES • Cell phones • Recharge less often • Houses • Less costly electricity(supplement) • Portable radios and laptops
