Objective
Thin-film photovoltaic cells (TFPV) are highly dependent on transparent conductive polymers. The product developed by Intenanomat is a transparent conductive polymer which can be easily coated on a thin layer over different surfaces. OHMIO is a transparent conductive layer used as an HTM (hole transport material) for TFPV. OHMIO is the only HTM that is flexible enough to fit TFPV cells, achieving higher efficiencies because of their higher layer transparency in the IR range, reducing production costs and avoiding the use of corona treatment or similar.
OHMIO will solve main current problems related to HTM: water severely damage the organic material layers (OHMIO is formulated without water), strong acid compositions reduce the TFPV shelf life (OHMIO is formulated in a liquid with selected additives and solvents) and high manufacturing costs (OHMIO will reduce the production process costs of an electronic device by up to 80%. OHMIO will involve savings of up to 200% in raw materials and several reductions of the carbon footprint. Additionally, OHMIO is easy to scale-up due to its manufacturing process does not need additional investment if the application changes.
Intenanomat is a company managed by a highly qualified team of professionals with over 15 years of experience in the synthesis of different types of nanomaterials. They have created a new business unit to develop and commercialize OHMIO (patent registered P201730735).
Intenanomat expects to achieve a market of 123,490 solar panels across Europe (37 MW of installed capacity) by 2025. They estimate a total sales volume will reach €11 million with an expected profit of €4.3 million, generating 20 new direct jobs and a NPV of €4.69 million and an IRR of 64% up to 2025.
