In a joint effort of FAU, ASCA, and HI ERN, within the framework of the EU Project BOOSTER, and with support from the FAU Profile Center Solar and Solar TAP, a new organic photovoltaic (OPV) solar demonstrator has been installed on campus. The innovative installation features a 35 m² OPV façade ...

Every year, the Department of Materials Science is awarding two study prizes for the master's programs in Materials Science and Engineering and Nanotechnology. This prize is intended to honor students who have distinguished themselves through outstanding academic achievements. This year the award g...

ANYMO is a pre-seed spin-off from the Helmholtz Institute Erlangen-Nürnberg (HI ERN) at Forschungszentrum Jülich. The project has developed a non-invasive, portable solution to identify the composition of polymer materials—such as backsheets and encapsulants—in photovoltaic (PV) modules directly in...

We are pleased to warmly welcome Professor Sang Il Seok, a global leader in perovskite solar cell research, to the Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU). Professor Seok was nominated for the prestigious Humboldt Research Award by Professor Christoph J. Brabec, and was granted it i...

Marius Peters has published a perspective article "The ideal recyclable solar cell" co-authored by Christoph Brabec in Nature Reviews Chemistry. The work explores a timely and crucial question: how can we design photovoltaic technologies not only for maximum efficiency but also for true recyclabili...
