ENC magazine (April 28) -- Researchers led by MatSE professor John Rogers, use a printing process to assemble tiny cells into multilayer stacks for extraordinary levels of photovoltaic conversion efficiency. The strategy involves high-speed, printing-based manipulation of thin, microscale solar cells and new interface materials to bond them into multilayer stacks. The group's quadruple-junction, four-terminal solar cells have individually measured efficiencies of 43.9 percent.
