The EU-funded project BOOSTER (“Boost Of Organic Solar Technology for European Radiance”) has successfully kicked off. The project has a duration of four years and involves ten academic and industrial partners from eight different countries. Its aim is the development of organic photovoltaic module...
Sciprios is a spin-off from FAU, which provides R&D equipment for printed opto-electronics, especially in the field of photovoltaics (PV).The goal of the project is the development of an inline laser system for the monolithic interconnection of organic and perovskite PV modules which enables ge...
10 years of research in perovskites semiconductors have provided great insight into the crystallization dynamics of halide based perovskites. Different to their oxide or chalcogenide sisters and brothers, halide perovskites offer a high crystallization enthalpy at very moderate temperatures, requir...
TechXplore, a long time veteran among the pro-science based platforms (see mediabiasfactcheck.com) reporting on science and technology innovations, has featured Andrej´s article. Enjoy reading their article!

Can drones be used to assess a utility-scale PV installation comprehensively? Scientists from the Helmholtz-Institut Erlangen-Nürnberg für Erneuerbare Energien (HI-ERN) attempt to show that it can be done in project COSIMA, a collaborative effort between six partners: N-ERGIE – a local utility comp...
With his contribution "CONTACTLESS OUTDOOR PHOTOLUMINESCENCE OF SILICON PHOTOVOLTAIC MODULES WITH LARGE AREA EXCITATION SOURCE" Bernd Doll, FAU PhD student and guest researcher at HI ERN in the group High Throughput Characterization and Modeling has won one of the Student Awards at the "EU PVSEC 20...
Prof. Heiss’ group SOPSEM (SOlution-Processed SEMiconductors), in collaboration within the IMEET department and several other FAU WW-s groups, has demonstrated a new approach of metal halide perovskites (MHP) heteroepitaxial crystal growth based on cheap and scalable inkjet printing. The paper...
During the last years, the development of new active materials has led to constant improvement in the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of solution-processed organic photovoltaics (OPV) to nowadays record values above 17% on small lab cells. In this work, we show the developments and results of a s...
I-MEET celebrated its 10th anniversary with the holding of the Next Generation Solar Energy Conference in Nuremberg in December in the presence of many alumni and cooperation partners. I-MEET has established itself as one of FAU's research strongholds. With an above-average number of highly-cited p...
Andrej´s paper on the limitations of organic solar cells just went online in Nature Energy and got advertised in the News & View section of by a very profound comment from Tracey Clarke (thank you Tracey!). Andrej, Thomas and Larry went deep to understand the limiting factors enabling efficient...
