Novel Nanoimprint Lithography Capable of Precise Nanostructured Devices

Nanoimprinting is an emerging technology that’s been used to produce various electronic and optical devices by imprinting the pattern from a mold onto a surface. But Dr. Hu’s team is exploring how the thermal imprinting can not only impart a pattern to the solar cell material but also change properties of the material in ways that maximize light absorption, increasing the efficiency of the resulting cells well beyond what anyone has done to date with these so-called organic solar cells.
