Several European research institutes, among them HIERN, and companies are sharing their thoughts how to build a European PV industry. Watch a movie full of information but also visions what is required to guarantee an independent and sustainable PV supply for Europe.  Continue

The importance of solar panels cannot be overestimated. And it is also important to ensure their proper maintenance. Big paper by Janine and Marius - a most comprehensive review (summarizing the data on about 200 outdoor PV plants from about 80 reports) on the frequency and likeliness that PV m... Continue

Congrats to Yinhua for our recent Nat Energy paper on a novel PEDOT:F, that can be processed from alcohol! That PEDOT:F overcomes the incompatibility between most NFAs and PEDOT and represents a scalable printed alternative to evaporated MoOx. Both, efficiency and lifetime for this PEDOT:F are at t... Continue

Hany Afify from the SOPSEM team and colleagues from i-MEET, with the support of several groups from FAU (Prof. Brabec, Prof. Unruh, Prof. Guldi) have demonstrated the first solution epitaxially grown perovskite micro-resonators exhibiting laser emission. The observed thresholds are comparable to th... Continue

Yakun took the prize for the best oral presentation at NanoGe spring meeting 2022! In her talk Yakun highlighted recent research published in Advanced Energy Materials. In the article the quality of charge generating interface was quantitatively assessed from purely optical measurements, and, witho... Continue

Wei managed to process perovskite solar cells with different levels of strains embedded at the interface to the substrate. Interestingly, device performance under 1 sun was not that different, however, when going to low light or when looking into the stability, we started to see a clear trend. The ... Continue

Fahimeh has finished her doctoral study on Friday with very good grades. The PhD defence took place digitally via zoom that allowed a larger audience to be present. During her PhD Fahimeh worked on the modification of low dimensional nanostructured TiO2 for energy application. Nanostructured Ti... Continue

Perovskites are the greatest hope for the solar modules of the future. Until now, the biggest obstacle for practical use has been the short lifetime. Yicheng and co-authors presented the solar cell that impresses with its extraordinary stability. The illuminated cell survived 1450 hours at elevated... Continue

If you want to be updated with the recent developments of organic andperovskite photovoltaics don't miss the 2021 Christmas Seminar on Thursday, Dec. 16th, 8:50-12:00. The Christmas seminar is organized with 10 scientific presentations (5 from SCUT teams and 5 from i-MEET research groups), the work... Continue
