Researchers at i-MEET use hybrid (physics aware) artificial intelligence to learn more about photovoltaic materials from faster and simpler experiments. For example, we can obtain performance relevant aspects of microstructure by analysing simple absorption spectra. In many cases, this helps us...

Jiyun has used fully automated SPINBOT platform for engineering solution-processed Perovskite thin films, addressing the persistent challenge of simultaneously optimizing processing parameters. SPINBOT employs unsupervised processing on hundreds of substrates, showcasing exceptional experimental co...

Larry, Marius, Vincent and Karen have explored multijunction devices and photon up-and-down conversion to enhance efficiency beyond single junction limits. Utilizing Bayesian Optimization in a simulation environment, our team predicts and optimizes the electrical performance of multi-junction archi...

The quest for the perfect material in photovoltaics is ongoing, with a focus on overcoming the limitations of traditional silicon-based modules. i-MEET team is leading the charge to establish organic photovoltaics (OPV) as a viable alternative. OPV modules, known for their flexibility and transpare...

Silicon solar panels have become a part of everyday life in Germany, providing us with green energy. But what happens to the solar cells and the valuable raw materials they contain when they reach the end of their service life? Currently, nearly 10,000 tons of decommissioned solar modules are proce...

NGSE is a global conference on solar energy organized by FAU and HI ERN, held annually in December, and a bi-monthly PhD-Postdoc series. NGSE 8, in collaboration with LBNL, takes place on December 12-14, 2023, in Erlangen, featuring a hybrid format. The focus is on "High-throughput Synthesis and AI...

Dr. Jens Hauch of the Helmholtz Institute Erlangen-Nürnberg for Renewable Energies has been unanimously elected as the new Chairman of ENERGIEregion Nürnberg e.V. during the recent members' assembly on November 21, 2023. He will lead the board for the term 2023-2025, succeeding Dr. Michael Fraas, w...

Joint workshop between FAU, FZJ, SCUT and Jinan University on “Printable Thin-Film Photovoltaics & Applications”, was held on the 21st of November at Jinan University. Christoph and Hans presented research in Erlangen and the last achievements of i-MEET in printing of organic photovoltaics. Als...

Attaining Fellow status denotes to the wider community a high level of accomplishment as a professional chemist. To qualify for Fellow status, individuals must have demonstrated an exceptional contribution either to the progression of the chemical sciences, the enhancement of the chemical sciences profession, or have exhibited distinction in managing a chemical sciences organization.

Christoph has been honored as a "Highly Cited Researcher" by the Web of Science Group, a part of Clarivate Analytics for the tenth time in a row! Meaning he is in the top 1% of the scientists for decade now. The Highly Cited Researchers List of 2023 features 7,127 outstanding researchers global...
