Eindhoven, Noord-Brabant, Nederland TNO Voltijd
About This Position

At TNO, we are seeking an enthusiastic researcher to join our team in the field of perovskite solar cells. These thin film photovoltaic technologies have shown great promise due to their high power conversion efficiency and relatively low production costs.

Your Key Responsibilities

  • Optimize the electron transport layer (ETL) to reduce inherent hysteresis and improve open circuit voltage in n-i-p device structures;
  • Develop a perovskite absorber suitable for single junction applications with a bandgap optimized towards 1.5 eV;

The focus will be on perovskite processing using state-of-the-art solvent systems at a small scale, aiming to transition to environmentally friendly solvents in the future. Daily work will involve solar cell and layer characterization using electrical, morphological, and spectroscopic techniques.

About You

We are looking for a highly motivated individual with a background in physics, chemistry, materials science, or electrical engineering. Your expertise in problem-solving and ability to work autonomously will be crucial in driving this project forward.

You should be affiliated with a university during the internship and have a minimum duration of six months, preferably in the MSc phase of your study.

About the Opportunity

As a research intern at TNO, you will be part of a dynamic team working on cutting-edge technology. You will receive proper supervision and guidance throughout your work placement, as well as opportunities for personal and professional development.

  • A competitive salary of approximately €25-35 per hour, depending on experience and qualifications;
  • A highly professional and innovative work environment within a team of top experts;
  • A generous internship allowance (€10-15 per hour for full-time students);
  • Possibility of eight hours of free leave per internship month for full-time interns;
  • A free membership of the TNO employee sports association; and
  • Use of a laptop.

We are committed to providing you with a comprehensive learning experience that will equip you with valuable skills and knowledge in your chosen field.
