Our joint project with NASA opened the opportunity to invite Colombian school kids to visit the photovoltaics and biomaterials research facilities at the material science department of the Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nürnberg.
Baobing and Ning achieve highest certified efficiency of single junction 1 cm2 organic solar cells to date. Our cooperation with the team of Prof Yip and Prof Cao from SCUT achieved a new record in the performance of organic non-fullerene based single-junction solar cells. Using a series of complex optimisations, we achieved certified power conversion efficiency of 12.25 percent on a surface area measuring one square centimetre.
Jose’s project to train Colombian kids in the preparation of organic solar cells made a further major step. As already announced, the solar cells were selected for a near space flight on NASA´s Sift Test Flight mission on a long duration balloon and were launched August 24th from Fort Summer,....
Four researchers at i-MEET developed a scientific project in Colombia with public school children making OSCs that will end in the outer space
Few may remember this, but Advanced Energy Materials was initiated by Wiley and the Erlangen research community. I had the pleasure to meet Manfred Waidhas back in 2003 when working at the Corporate Technology at Siemens. After joining...
Derya demonstrated NFA solar cells with quantum efficiencies approaching unity.
Professors, lecturers, researchers and students from i-MEET and the Erlangen Department of ZAE Bayern have published over 100 scientific and technological manuscripts in 2017, among them several manuscripts in the Nature family but also in other highly rated journals like Energy & Environmental ...
Congratulations to Yicheng! Yicheng won a prestigious Humboldt Research Fellowship allowing him to join the i-MEET perovskite research team at FAU. Yicheng will join i-MEET in September 2018 and support our efforts in understanding interface related loss mechanisms in high performance perovskite dev...
Semi-transparent photovoltaic (ST-PV) technologies can be applied to replace facades and roofs in conventional buildings and coatings on vehicles to produce energy from sunlight. The current ST-PV technology is Si-based, but although Si achieves adequate efficiencies, it compromises on aesthetic app...
Fullerenes have formed an integral part of high performance organic solar cells over the last 20 years, however their inherent limitations in terms of synthetic flexibility, cost and stability have acted as a motivation to develop replacements; the so-called non-fullerene electron acceptors. A rapid...
