The Sustainable Photovoltaics group at HIERN is looking for two PhD students to support the work in the ChemPRINT Collaborative Research Center, for the Implementation of the project work in the ChemPRINT project.
Research in the Sustainable Photovoltaics group focuses on the development of solar cells and modules with improved recyclability. Further information can be found at https://www.sustainable-pv.de
The aim of the project is the integration and selective detachment of ultra-thin layers in solar cells for better recycling, as well as the development of controllable processes for the detachment of layers and layer stacks at interfaces (photo-switching). The work is carried out in close cooperation with the Interdisciplinary Center for Nanostructured Films (IZNF).
Your tasks in this context include:
- Fabrication and characterization of perovskite solar cells
- Deposition of ultra-thin films by means of Solution Atomic Layer Deposition (SALD) and their characterization
- Integration of photo-switches at organic and inorganic interfaces and their characterization
- Participation in national and international conferences (incl. presentation of your research results)
- Active participation in the activities of the SFB ChemPrint
- Writing of scientific publications and project reports
