Our lifetime team under the guidance of Dr. Thomas Heumüller has managed to take for the first time data on organic solar cells for mor than 100.000 sun equivalent hours. The details on the presentation, given by Christoph J. Brabec are given below. 2018-10 - ISOS - Stability of Organic Sol...

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, New Me...

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...

Daniel´s and Alan´s review “Accelerating the discovery of materials for clean energy in the era of smart automation” which is based on the Mission Innovation Conference in Mexico City, September 2017,just went online in Nature Reviews Materials. The discovery and development of novel materials in...
