Difei already left i-MEET after more than a year working in our group on novel Y6 derivatives and is continuing her career back at SCUT. Yakun is leaving i-MEET after 5 years PhD and ~ 1 year Postdoc working on double cable materials and will join KAUST as a Postdoc working on the photophysics of a...

Chao passed her PhD examination with the great success and excellent grades! Her study focused on the development of advanced functional interface materials as required for the scalable production of highly efficient and stable organic solar cells with simple solution processing techniques. One maj...

Our beautiful and very successful cooperation with Weiwei from Beijing University of Chemical Technology on double conjugated polymers delivering 10 % for the first time. From 1998 - 2000, the first European Project on organic solar cells (Molecular Plastic Solar Cells) concluded that double cable ...

Solvent vapor annealing (SVA) has established itself as a highly efficient post-treatment process for enhancing power conversion efficiency (PCE). In cooperation with the Prof Spiecker group and CENEM we investigate the mechanisms of the SVA process of Organic Bulk-Heterojunction Blends. Thanks to ...

Solar cells transparent in the visible range are highly requested for integration in see-through photovoltaic (PV) applications such as building glass façades or greenhouse roofs. The development of advanced transparent PV can fully exploit the tandem technology where the top cell absorbs the near-...

Stability is one of the most important challenges facing material research for organic solar cells on their path to further commercialization. Our recent article in Nature Communications focuses on degradation mechanisms of inverted photovoltaic devices in the high-performance material system PM6:Y...

Live conferences are coming back into our lives. And of course we couldn't resist attending a PV conference at the University of Gronningen. It was a great time and great speakers!

For his master's thesis, Simon will be joining the group of Dr. Carolin Sutter-Fella at the Molecular Foundry, located at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in Berkeley, California. The goal of this project is to utilize high throughput screening and in situ characterization techniques to fu...

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.

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...
