Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
A solid state photovoltaic device is formed on a substrate and includes a photoactive channel layer interposed between a pair of electrodes. The photoactive channel layer includes a first material which absorbs light and operates as a hole carrier. Within the first material are nanoparticles of a second material which operate as electron carriers. The nanoparticles are distributed within the photoactive channel layer such that predominantly, the , charge path between the two electrodes at any given location includes only a single nanocrystal. Because a majority of electrons are channeled to the electrodes via single nanocrystal conductive paths the resulting architecture , is …

Why it's free to use
- Filed October 8, 1999 and granted June 28, 2011. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended October 8, 2019.

- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
