Year: 2017

Welcome to Jose and Wei, who complete the i-MEET PhD team in 2017. Jose has graduated at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) under Prof Hu while Wei graduated from Huazhong University of Science and Technology in Wuhan, China on optical technologies.

Yi's results on a layer based on tantalum-tungsten oxide (Ta-WOx) nanoparticle layers has been published in the journal of Science. With his material system he was able to reduce the interface barrier and drive efficiency up to 21.2%.

A new hollow-type microparticles of organic–inorganic hybrid lead halide perovskites was synthesized via new non-template approach at room temperature.

5 researchers from the University of Erlangen-Nürnberg made it on the Highly Cited Researchers list. The 2017 Highly Cited Researchers list represents some of the world's most influential minds as determined by a citation analysis of Web of Science data. Two of them, Patrik Schmuki and Christoph J. ...

Heping Shen from ANU and Yi Hou from FAU are starting a DAAD funded cooperation on the development of low-temperature (LT) processed selective contact materials for highly efficient and stable single junction and multi-junction perovskite solar cells (PSC).

A recent report from Someya reported a breakthrough and showed that organic solar cells and modules can be washed while maintaining good photoconversion efficiencies. Nature Energy invited us to discuss the relevance on this finding for the OPV roadmap.

Ning won the “Younge Sceintist Bronze Award” at the IUMRS-ICAM 2017. MRS-Japan organized the conference in Kyoto, Japan during the period of August 27 to September 1, 2017. The International Conference of Advanced Materials (ICAM) It is one of the best materials conferences on advanced materials con...

Felix started his education as trainee in microsystem technologies at i-MEET. For the next three years Felix will support Corina and join our device processing team with a focus on perovskites and become an expert in clean room technology, semiconductor processing and device characterization. We wis...

A cordial welcome to Osbel Almora at i-MEET. Osbel is physicist by training and graduated from the University of Havana, Cuba. After being a research fellow at the Solar Cells Laboratory at IMRE / Havana, he spent the last three years at the University of Jaume I, Spain, working with Germà Garcia-Be...

Misha (Mykhailo Sytnyk) used organic pigments from a paint-shop as starting material for a simple wet chemical synthesis of hierarchical nanocrystals with various well controlled bio-inspired shapes and sizes.
