Eindhoven, Noord-Brabant, Nederland TNO Voltijd

About TNO

TNO is a leading innovation partner for companies, governments and other organizations. Our aim is to improve the sustainability, safety and quality of life by working on solutions in various areas like perovskite solar cells.

Job Description

We are looking for an intern with a strong background in physics, chemistry, material science or electrical engineering. The intern will be involved in optimizing the electron transport layer (ETL) to reduce hysteresis and improve open circuit voltage in NIP device structures. This includes selecting the correct ETL material, optimizing dopants/additives, and implementing an interface layer between the ETL and perovskite absorber.

The tasks also involve implementation of a perovskite absorber suited for single junction applications, with bandgap optimized towards 1.5 eV. We focus on state-of-the-art solvent systems at small scale, with a view towards environmentally benign solvents. Daily work involves solar cell and layer characterization using electrical, morphological, and spectroscopic techniques.

Requirements
  • A background in physics, chemistry, material science or electrical engineering.
  • High motivation, curiosity, and problem-solving skills.
  • Ability to work autonomously and good social skills to interact with the team.
  • Minimum six months, preferably during the MSc phase.
  • Affiliation with a university is required for eligibility.
What We Offer

We provide a highly professional internship environment within a team of top experts. You'll receive a suitable internship allowance (€1250 - €2000 per month) for full-time interns. Additionally, you'll get eight hours of free leave per internship month, a free membership in our staff sports club, use of a laptop, and an allowance for travel expenses if you don't have an OV-card.
