PhD Researcher: Unveiling the Secrets of Perovskite Solar Cells

2 maanden geleden


Amsterdam, Noord-Holland, Nederland AMOLF Voltijd
Project Overview

Perovskite solar cells have emerged as a promising candidate for the next generation of photovoltaics. This PhD project aims to investigate the stability of perovskite solar cells by controlling ion migration. The project is part of the national consortium SolarNL, which focuses on developing an industry capable of producing solar cells, solar modules, and integrated solar PV solutions.

Research Objectives

The primary objective of this project is to identify ways to make perovskite solar cells more stable by controlling ion migration. This will involve combining measurements of ion motion in the frequency and time domain with a variation of device and material parameters and external pressure. Additionally, drift-diffusion simulations will be used to understand on the microscopic level how the ions move.

Methodology

The project will employ a combination of experimental and theoretical approaches to investigate the stability of perovskite solar cells. This will include:

  • Measuring ion motion in the frequency and time domain using techniques such as impedance spectroscopy and time-resolved spectroscopy
  • Varying device and material parameters to understand their impact on ion migration
  • Using drift-diffusion simulations to model ion motion and understand its impact on solar cell performance
Expected Outcomes

The expected outcomes of this project include:

  • A deeper understanding of the mechanisms underlying ion migration in perovskite solar cells
  • The development of new materials with reduced ion migration, leading to more stable solar cells
  • Improved solar cell performance and efficiency
Working Environment

The Hybrid Solar Cell Group at AMOLF is a dynamic and collaborative research environment that fosters strong connections between researchers and industry partners. PhD students benefit from a variety of courses designed to enhance their research skills. AMOLF is a part of NWO-I and initiates and performs leading fundamental research on the physics of complex forms of matter, and to create new functional materials, in partnership with academia and industry.

Working Conditions

The working atmosphere at the institute is largely determined by young, enthusiastic, mostly non-Dutch employees. Communication is informal and runs through short lines of communication. The position is intended as full-time (40 hours/week, 12 months/year) appointment in the service of the Netherlands Foundation of Scientific Research Institutes (NWO-I) for the duration of four years. The starting salary is 2,781 Euros gross per month, and a range of employment benefits are offered.
