Amsterdam, Noord-Holland, Nederland AMOLF Voltijd

Project Overview

The goal of this project is to optimize light management in perovskite tandem solar cells. This involves designing and optimizing metallo-dielectric back reflector geometries to scatter and redirect light in specially tailored ways, allowing for efficient light trapping without compromising the perovskite-silicon interface.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design and optimize metallo-dielectric back reflector geometries for efficient light trapping
  • Investigate specially tailored microstructures on the surface of the solar cell for passive radiative cooling
  • Collaborate with the research team to develop a high-efficiency perovskite/silicon tandem solar cell

Requirements

  • MSc degree in physics or equivalent qualification
  • Strong background in physics, chemistry, materials science, or engineering
  • Keen interest in solar cells and light management

Working Conditions

  • Full-time appointment (40 hours/week, 12 months/year) in the service of NWO-I
  • Starting salary 2,781 Euros gross per month and a range of employment benefits
  • PhD degree granted at a Dutch University upon successful completion of the project
