Department Solution Processing of Hybrid Materials & Devices
Projects & Collaborations
We are involved in several third-party funded projects within Germany, Europa and the USA.
The main projects are listed below:
SolarTap
SolarTap - A Technology Acceleration Platform for emerging Photovoltaics
A Project by the Helmholtz Association
January 1st 2023 - December 31st 2025
Our role:
Solar TAP wants to accelerate the transfer of technologies from „Lab-to-Fab“ through close cooperations with industry. We run several industry-projects on slot-die coating, inkjet printing, ink & ink recycling, in-situ formation studies, experimental and analytic automization, and data management.
Please get in touch to know more about the research and industry network.
VIPERLAB
Fully connected virtual and physical perovskite photovoltaics lab
H2020 INFRAIA project
June 1st 2021 - November 30th 2024
Our role:
Project coordinator (Prof. Eva Unger), and Project manager (Dr. Natalia Maticiuc).
Sharing the Stability infrastructure at HZB and the perovskite database infrastructure.
TEAM PV
TeamPV
Transatlantic project between HZB and NREL funded by BMBF.
January 1st 2024 - December 31st 2024
Our role:
We strengthen the transatlantic collaboration aligning our efforts on perovskite solar cells, x-ray methods and data managment. We converge practices and develop reproducibility and comparability in perovskite materials.
Shine
SHINE
May 1st 2022 - April 30th 2027
Our role:
Our main focus is on perovskite solar cells, formation studies from ink to thin-films and finished devices. We aim to get a full picture from chemistry to the thin-film physics; from the precursors to the solar cell devices.
