Perovskite Materials for Photovoltaics and Photonics
Our research activities are focused on the physics of organic and, more recently, hybrid perovskite photovoltaics. Perovskite photovoltaics is a relatively new type of thin-film PV technology, which experienced a tremendous increase in power conversion efficiency from 3.8 % to above 25 % within the last 10 years.
Solar cells can be easily made from solution in our laboratories, whereas on industrial scale they can even be produced via large-area, roll-to-roll printing. These features of high efficiency and low-cost make the hybrid perovskite solar cells to a promising candidate for future PV applications attracting many PV research groups all around the world.
Our PV group concentrates its experimental activities at understanding the fundamental working principles of organic and hybrid perovskite solar cells, such as charge carrier transport, charge carrier extraction as well as the recombination dynamics of charge carriers. Another important related topic is the analysis of structural defects and dopants in organic and hybrid semiconductors and their impact on the performance of the optoelectronic and photovoltaic devices.
Many different complementary experimental techniques are available to probe the cw- and transient optical, electrical as well magnetic properties of active layers as well as fully processed solar cell devices.
