After three years in Erlangen Osbel finished his thesis on the topic of hysteretic effects in perovskite solar cells with excellence. An impressive number of publications, in combination with the development of novel impedance measurement methods and paired with a very strong defense convinced t... Continue

During the COVID-19 pandemic, one unexpected outcome in cities around the world has been a reduction in air pollution, as people stay home to avoid contracting the coronavirus. Based on data collected in Delhi, India, researchers report that this cleaner air has led to more sunlight reaching so... Continue

Nicola finished his PhD at i-MEET in 2017 and we all at i-MEET still have the best memories on him. After working 2 years at KAUST on OPV with Derya, Nicola has joined Imperial College to work on a novel topic - the artificial retina. Just now Nicola has been named World Economic Forum Young Sci... Continue

Self-driven laboratories are current discussed as a fast and reliable methodology to overcome the limitation of classical high-throughput experimentation. In his most recent article in Advanced Materials, Stefan challenged a robot based high throughput process to identify the most photost... Continue

The current state-of-the-art X-ray to current converter technology is based on Cd(Zn)Te. The into crystalline wafer processed material, offers ideal properties but requires demanding production processes such as zone melting, the Bridgman method or epitaxial growth. Beside the high costs, most l... Continue

Until now, the perovskite community lacked cohesion and consistency in identifying key tests that could reveal failure modes specific to perovskite cells, which is both cause and consequence of the limited understanding of device degradation. More effort is needed to understand degradation mech... Continue

Shuai and Iftikhar had both worked during their PhD on multilayer coatings, though on very different applications. Iftikhar designed and processed multi-layer barrier coatings for organic electronics, while Shuai developed and demonstrated multilayer dielectric mirrors for vapor sensing and mic... Continue
