In the framework of our international DFG funded project, Angus (Prof Hin-Lap Yip), Qifan and Zhang from the Materials Science Department from the South China University of China (SCUT) visited i-MEET mid January this year. Angus gave a marvelous talk on the most recent developments in organic in pe...
Andrej reports the absence of charge transfer states in single wall Carbon Nanotube : Fullerene composites in Advanced Energy Materials (DOI: 10.1002/aenm.201801913). This allowed him to report the lowest Voc loss in low bandgap organic composites so far.
After a construction period of less than 3 years, Mr Dieter Maußner, director of the "Staatliche Bauamt" handed over the new research building to FAU chancellor Christian Zens.
9 researchers from the University of Erlangen-Nürnberg made it on the Highly Cited Researchers list. For Christoph J. Brabec this represents the 6th consecutive year of being named within the top 1% of most citations.
Our joint project with NASA opened the opportunity to invite Colombian school kids to visit the photovoltaics and biomaterials research facilities at the material science department of the Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nürnberg.
Baobing and Ning achieve highest certified efficiency of single junction 1 cm2 organic solar cells to date. Our cooperation with the team of Prof Yip and Prof Cao from SCUT achieved a new record in the performance of organic non-fullerene based single-junction solar cells. Using a series of complex optimisations, we achieved certified power conversion efficiency of 12.25 percent on a surface area measuring one square centimetre.
Jose’s project to train Colombian kids in the preparation of organic solar cells made a further major step. As already announced, the solar cells were selected for a near space flight on NASA´s Sift Test Flight mission on a long duration balloon and were launched August 24th from Fort Summer,....
