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 th... 

In the manuscript “Analyzing the efficiency, stability and cost potential for fullerene-free organic photovoltaics in one Figure of Merit” Ning effectively combined the prediction of efficiencies with experimentally determined stability data to analyze and forecast the commercial potential of a NFA-... 

Based on the recent ranking from Reuters analyzing a university’s publication as well as patent record, Erlangen was identified as a European not spot for innovation. We at i-MEET and ZAE feel obliged to support this tradition and are proud to have supported the university over the last years ... 

i-MEET has recently been granted a new research project called CESSY, which focuses on the development hybrid solar collectors which combine photovoltaic power generation with solar thermal hot water generation. Thereby, these devices have the potential of not only increasing the overall energy effi... 

Welcome to Jose and Wei, who complete the i-MEET PhD team in 2017. Jose has graduated at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) under Prof Hu while Wei graduated from Huazhong University of Science and Technology in Wuhan, China on optical technologies.
