Our research focuses on metal halide perovskites and their utilisation in solar cells. They are a promising material group for the development of a next generation of highly efficient, bendable, and affordable solar cells. We develop these materials to make an important contribution to the green, climate neutral energy future.
Perovskite / Silicon Tandem Solar Cells
By combining novel perovskite materials with established silicon solar cell technology we are forging a pathway towards highly efficient tandem solar cells.
Thin Film Growth Mechanisms
Reliable fabrication of uniform thin-films is crucial to be able to built efficient optoelectronic devices. We study the growth mechanisms during vacuum deposition to understand and control them.
Our research is possible thanks to funding from the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action, the European Union, The Fraunhofer Society, and the Vector Foundation.
