Master Thesis: Robot-Assisted Synthesis of High-Entropy Lead-Free Halide Perovskites
The Helmholtz Institute Erlangen-Nuremberg for Renewable Energies (HI ERN), part of the Forschungszentrum Jülich, researches and develops material- and process-based solutions for climate-neutral, sustainable and cost-effective utilization of renewable energies
The research group High Throughput Materials and Devices specializes in:
- Combinatorial materials research
- High throughput synthesis and characterization
- Characterization and Processing equipment development
- Big data methods and Machine Learning
for the development of printed solar cells with advanced efficiency and stability.
We offer
the opportunity for a Masters thesis in High-Throughput Synthesis and Characterization of Novel Inorganic Materials for Energy Conversion Applications.
Project description:
The M.Sc. project focuses on an ambitious and challenging aim of developing protocols of high-throughput combinatorial syntheses of medium/high-entropy lead-free halide perovskites combining seven and more different elements. Such compounds are strongly expected to reveal unique stability and non-additive spectral and photophysical properties promising for versatile light conversion/storage/management applications.
Your profile:
