We just had the kick-off meeting for the #nano2tera project funded by #BMFTR #NanoMatFutur that enambles my new research group #superPV at @unimarburg.bsky.social @physicsmarburg.bsky.social over the next 5 years. www.werkstofftechnologien.de/projekte/nac...

Currently attending the interdisciplinary Ecological Bootprint conference at the LMU/Rachel Carson Centre where @lukaswagner.bsky.social & I presented our research about kamikaze drone metabolisms, the material flows & sinks of drone warfare in Ukraine. A really interesting & insightful gathering!

Von Computerchips bis Düngemittel: Weitere Auswirkungen des Iran-Kriegs könnten in Asien wie auch Europa bald spürbar sein. Im #PRIFblog beleuchten @ptrckflmm.bsky.social und @lukaswagner.bsky.social die globalen Verknüpfungen zwischen Petrochemie, Energieströmen und Ernährungssicherheit. ⬇️

Dr. Lukas Wagner baut an #UniMarburg #Nachwuchsgruppe zu nachhaltig skalierbarer #Perowskit-Photovoltaik auf -- das sind #Materialien für #Solarzellen der #Zukunft, ideal fürs #Skalieren auf #Terawatt-Maßstab. #Forschung #Sustainability Foto: J Hosan ➡️https://uni-marburg.de/K8SBov

🔬📣 #ScienceCommmunication is fun: I had the chance to write an article for #SpektrumDerWissenschaft (German version of #ScientificAmerican), discussing how to scale #photovoltaics #sustainably to a global #energy source www.spektrum.de/news/solaren...

Rohstoffe für die Solarenergie: Nachhaltige Photovoltaik beginnt im Labor

Beim Solarboom werden Effizienz und Materialverbrauch zu entscheidenden Herausforderungen, wenn es darum geht, auf viele Terawatt hochzuskalieren.

I am happy to share that I as awarded a #ResearchFellowship by the #WEHeraeusFoundation for outstanding researchers in the early stages of their careers. The funds, amounting to 100,000 €, are quite freely available for research activities. More infos: lnkd.in/d3BYDmTa

On the @nanoge.org #PerFunPro conference, Clemens Baretzky and I showed our development of an ultra low-cost, #SMU system. We already implemented parallel #MPP tracker #ageing of >700 #perovskite solar cells and will be further expanding the system for high-throughput stability assessments.

#CPSC with PCE>20%! Hadi Mohammadzadeh @fraunhoferise.bsky.social et al. introduced a method do optimize #carbon electrode lamination for #perovskite solar cells. I'm very happy to being part of this work which paves the way for further improvements (coming soon). doi.org/10.1002/solr...

5 years ago we started working on carbon electrodes for p-i-n devices. Little did we know how difficult it would turn out to be. But hey we did it 🤗 also found out that carbon electrodes are actually semiconducting pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10....

Charge Extraction Multilayers Enable Positive-Intrinsic-Negative Perovskite Solar Cells with Carbon Electrodes

Perovskite solar cells achieve high power conversion efficiencies but usually rely on vacuum-deposited metallic contacts, leading to high material costs for noble metals and stability issues for more reactive metals. Carbon-based materials offer a cost-effective and potentially more stable alternative. The vast majority of carbon-electrode PSCs use the negative-intrinsic-positive (n-i-p) or “hole-transport-layer-free” architectures. Here, we present a systematic study to assess the compatibility of “inverted”, p-i-n configuration PSC contact layers with carbon top electrodes. We identify incompatibilities between common electron transport layers and the carbon electrode deposition process and previously unobserved semiconducting properties in carbon electrodes with unique implications for charge extraction and electronic behavior. To overcome these issues, we introduce a double-layer atomic layer deposited tin oxide (SnO2) and Poly(2,3-dihydrothieno-1,4-dioxin)-poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS), yielding up to 16.1% PCE and a retained 94% performance after 500 h of outdoor aging. The study is a crucial step forward for printable, metal-electrode-free, and evaporation-free perovskite PV technologies.

Recommendation: Marius Peters from @solarfau.bsky.social released a video of his great talk. He puts the task or our generation, the #EnergyTransition in the context of large civilisational projects humankind has mastered in the past. www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPT0...

Can humanity make the energy transition the great success story of the 21st century?
