Organic photovoltaic (OPV) devices offer the ability to tune the electronic and optical properties of the active layer by selection of a wide range of molecules; however, their power conversion efficiencies currently lag other competing photovoltaic...

A levelized cost of energy approach to select and optimise emerging PV technologies: The relative impact of degradation, cost and initial efficiency (2021)
Journal Article

A model of levelized cost of energy (LCOE) is presented which accounts for the significant ‘burn-in’ losses common in photovoltaic (PV) devices with organic (OPV) and perovskite (PVK) absorber layers. This model is used to quantify the relative impor...

Electrical behaviour and evolutionary computation in thin films of bovine brain microtubules (2021)
Journal Article
Vissol-Gaudin, E., Pearson, C., Groves, C., Zeze, D. A., Cantiello, H. F., Cantero, M. D. R., & Petty, M. C. (2021). Electrical behaviour and evolutionary computation in thin films of bovine brain microtubules. Scientific Reports, 11, Article 10776. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-021-90260-0

We report on the electrical behaviour of thin films of bovine brain microtubules (MTs). For samples in both their dried and hydrated states, the measured currents reveal a power law dependence on the applied DC voltage. We attribute this to the injec...
