  • Abstract
    The research and development of innovative solar cells with high conversion efficiency and low production cost is important for achieving the long-term goal of "Cool earth 50", in which we aim at 50% reduction in the emission of greenhouse gas in the entire world by 2050 in order to prevent further global warming. The primary target of this project is the dramatic improvement in a photovoltaic conversion efficiency, which will innovate energy cycle in the world in a manner that reduces the use of fossil fuels, and thus eliminating the emission of greenhouse gas, in cooperation with the innovations in energy storage and delivery.
