Development of method and instrument for an evaluation of organic photovoltaic cell without device fabrication
—Fast and stable evaluation based on the technologies of digital still camera and microwave oven—

We developed a versatile approach towards organic photovoltaic cell without fabricating actual devices. This new system is expected to accelerate the researches not only of high efficient organic photovoltaics aimed for commercialization, but of various organic functional devices utilizing solar energy such as photocatalyst.
