Scientific expertise |
The focus of my research group lies on the design of novel nanostructured metal oxide materials using solution processing for applications in solar cells, molecular separation, and functional coatings. Various types of porous materials (e.g. nanoparticles, thin films, and bulk materials) can be prepared by sol-gel processing combined with supramolecular templating, or via nanocasting. |
|
|
Capabilities |
My group can provide expertise on solution-based fabrication of a range of porous metal oxide materials (WG1), and on the development of efficient and cost-effective nanocomposite metal oxide thin films for photovoltaic applications, i.e. perovskite solar cells (WG3). Optimal device architecture can be achieved by combining optoelectronic characterization, device simulations, and a careful design of the material nanostructure. |
