PhD Researcher: Unveiling the Secrets of Perovskite Solar Cells

7 dagen 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
  • To identify ways to make perovskite solar cells more stable by controlling ion migration
  • To investigate the impact of ion migration on the efficiency of perovskite solar cells
  • To develop new materials with reduced ion migration, leading to more stable solar cells
Methodology

The project will combine measurements of ion motion in the frequency and time domain with a variation of device and material parameters and external pressure. Drift-diffusion simulations will be used to understand on the microscopic level how the ions move. The research will be conducted in a highly collaborative and supportive environment, fostering strong connections within the group and with national and international partners.

Qualifications

We invite applications from highly motivated candidates with a strong background in physics, chemistry, materials science, or engineering, and a keen interest in solar cells. Prospective PhD candidates must hold an MSc degree or equivalent qualification.

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.
  • After successful completion of the PhD research, a PhD degree will be granted at a Dutch University.
  • Several courses are offered, specially developed for PhD students.
  • AMOLF assists any new foreign PhD student with housing and visa applications and compensates their transport costs and furnishing expenses.
