We had the privilege of gathering at the “Weltmarktführer Innovation Day,” where Christoph Brabec, our spokesperson from FAU Solar, shared insights at the SPEAKERS’ CORNER. Under the theme “Climate and…
We are excited to share that Björn Eskofier, the Chair of the Machine Learning and Data Analytics Lab at FAU and a valued member of FAU Solar, has been honored…
Optimizing solution-processed organic solar cells (OSCs) is challenging due to the multidimensional parameter space involved. Traditional one-variable-at-a-time (OVAT) methods are slow and often suboptimal. To address this, researchers have implemented…
The synthesis of solution-processable small-molecule semiconductors presents a unique opportunity for accelerating innovation in solution processed photovoltaics (PV). This recent breakthrough in small-molecule semiconductor research by FAU Solar members has…
Nuremberg, July 21, 2023 – Over 60 industry and science participants gathered at the “1st Solar TAP Industry Day” in Nuremberg for extensive discussions and networking. The event focused on…
Margareta, Lea and Niklas, students at the municipal Marie Therese Gymnasium in Erlangen, have been studying the basics of renewable energies and their impact on the climate in a final…
Organic electronics can make a decisive contribution to decarbonization and at the same time help save rare and valuable raw materials. To achieve this, it is necessary not only to…
Solar airships have the potential to provide environmentally friendly long-distance travel. These airships would be powered by solar cells on their outer skin and lightweight batteries on board, resulting in…
Solar energy stands as one of the most promising solutions to address the world’s growing energy needs while reducing our carbon footprint. A pivotal aspect of harnessing solar power efficiently…
What sounds like science fiction could soon become a reality: Photovoltaic systems that are so thin and light that they can float and fly. In an interview, Prof. Dr. Christoph Brabec explains what these “emerging photovoltaics (e-PV)” are made of and why they are the future of photovoltaic systems.
