+PROFITABLE +EFFECTIVE +RESISTANT Currently, solar cells are based on inorganic semiconductors and while their performance is attractive, they are expensive to produce and offer little versatility. Polymer cells, meanwhile, are: inexpensive to produce, lighter, less...
+EFFICIENT +PROFITABLE +ECOLOGICAL Solar energy is one of the most promising alternatives to fossil fuels. The challenge, however, lies in developing cells whose performance is sufficient to make this solution economically viable. One promising strategy – the Grätzel...
+EFFICIENT +ECOLOGICAL +PROFITABLE A polymer electrolyte fuel cell is a clean and efficient source of electrical power, which could, in the near future, be used in the automotive sector. However, the use of platinum and its alloys as catalysts in these new types of...
+PRECISE +EFFICIENT A key goal of research in the Buschmann and Hoemann groups is to develop technologies based on combining nanostructured polymers with blood components to create hybrid biomaterials for use in repairing joint tissues such as meniscus and cartilage,...
+PROFITABLE +EFFICIENT +ECOLOGICAL Molecular semiconductors are revolutionizing technology and replacing classical hard materials now used in devices such as solar cells. Québec includes international leaders in molecular electronics. The Perepichka group has...
