The project searches for the most suitable organic compounds with which to make solar cells, the best polymeric membranes with which to make fuel cells, and how best to assemble the molecules for such devices.
In October 2009, the project completed phase 1, CEP2 Linux version Clean Energy Project - Phase 2 launched on 28 June 2010, and the Windows and Mac versions of Phase 2 were deployed on 8 November 2010.[1]On August 16, 2011, the project released its second achievement paper in which a compound was found to be 3 to 4 times better than current used compounds.[2]
