  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PRODUCTION OF ARTIFICIAL EUMELANIN
    Publication number: 20200407490
    Abstract: “Black” photoactive materials that comprise synthetic eumelanin polymers are provided, as are methods of making and using the polymers. The synthetic eumelanin polymers are made from the plant oil vanillin, and exhibit defined structural and chemical characteristics (e.g. homogeneity, solubility, etc.) that make them suitable for use in devices that require photoactive materials, such as solar cells.
    Type: Application
