The world is in the midst of a climate crisis driven by mankind's insatiable demand for fossil-fuel energy. Renewable technologies such as solar and wind will undoubtedly form part of our future energy mix. Solar cells in particular have great potential- especially in sunny countries like Australia. The uptake of solar cell technology is hampered by their current high cost and long payback time. This project concerns the development of new solar cells based upon novel organic materials called dendrimers. These materials can be solution processed and will dramatically reduce cost and payback time in next generation devices.

世界正处于由人类对化石燃料能量的无限需求造成的气候危机中。诸如太阳能和风能的可再生技术无疑将构成我们未来的能源组合的一部分。尤其是太阳能电池具有巨大的潜力 - 尤其是在澳大利亚等阳光国家。太阳能电池技术的吸收受到了当前的高成本和较长的回报时间的阻碍。该项目涉及基于称为树枝状聚合物的新型有机材料的新太阳能电池的开发。这些材料可以解决方案处理，并将大大减少下一代设备中的成本和回报时间。
