initiated chemical vapor deposition
(iCVD) enables the synthesis of
polymer electrolytes using liquid
based polymerization chemistries
without the need for liquid solvents
initiated chemical vapor deposition
(iCVD) enables complete pore filling by operating under reaction limited conditions with negligible gas and surface diffusion resistance
dye sensitized solar cells (DSSC)
integrated with iCVD polymer electrolytes have higher efficiencies compared to standard liquid
electrolyte cells
