Treasores - GS questions based on daily current affairs

1)   Which of the following is/are benefits of transparent organic electrodes of the Treasores Project?

1) Broad spectral usability
2) Low cost
3) Better mechanical flexibility

a. 1, 3
b. 2
c. 2, 3
d. All of the above
Answer  Explanation 

ANSWER: All of the above

Explanation:
Advantages of using Transparent Organic Electrodes

  • Organic electrodes have their building blocks as molecules which being larger than atoms are easier to work with.
  • Low cost
  • Better mechanical flexibility
  • Broad spectral usability
  • Including TRANSPARENT BARRIERS would prevent moisture and oxygen entry from reaching sensitive organic electronic devices.
  • Therefore a combination of transparent organic electrode and barrier could be a boon for solar industry in terms of cost and flexibility of devices.
2)   Treasores Project is related to

a. Nationwide wireless broadband network
b. Transparent Electrodes
c. Observing moon of Venus
d. 3 manned missions of India to moon
Answer  Explanation 

ANSWER: Transparent Electrodes

Explanation:

  • TREASORES stands for transparent electrodes for large area large scale production of organic optoelectronic devices.
  • A team of European scientists has developed new transparent electrodes and barrier materials which may power the next-generation light sources and solar cells.
  • Researchers developed the new technology for use in the next generation of flexible optoelectronics as part of the TREASORES project of the European Union.
  • Currently, Indium Tin oxide (ITO) is widely used as electrodes in opto-electrical devices.
  • Transparent Organic Electrode -It uses electrodes made of organic polymers which are made of combination of molecules unlike ITO electrodes which are made of combination of two atoms.
