Objective(s)

The general objective: to develop perovskite-based photovoltaic devices towards “all

perovskite” solar cells with power conversion efficiencies approaching 20% and fabricated

with affordable, environmental friendly materials and technologies.

The specific objectives of the project along with the foreseen scientific and technical

achievements are:

1) Understand the mechanisms behind the high efficiency obtained using a hybrid

perovskite visible-light absorber between the nowadays “standard” electron and hole

transporters (TiO2 and spiro-OMeTAD);

2) Increase the PCE by using oxide perovskites with ferroelectric properties as carrier

transporters in the cell;

3) Develop flexible solar cells with perovskite absorber by replacing the ITO/FTO

transparent electrode with metallic nanowebs;

4) Adapt the lab technology for flexible solar cells to a large-scale printing technology.

Reflections on partnership

role and contributions to the project of PP/pp:

PP – fabrication (low cost chemical methods) and characterization of the cells with low

cost chemical methods, leader of two WP

P1 (UiO) – fabrication of transparent and conductive AZO electrodes and material

characterization, leader of one WP (characterization)

P2 (UI) - fabrication of rutile-TiO2, electrically active defects in the cells structure

P3 (RU) - First-principles studies and atomistic models for cells based on halide perovskite

as light absorber leader of one WP

P4 (UB) - growth of hybrid halide perovskite, spiro-OMeTAD by vacuum evaporation,

PCE (solar simulator), theoretical estimation of the PCE for perovskite solar cells, leader

of one WP

P5 (Optoelectronica 2001 S.A.) - development of a demonstrator equipment for printing

like technology that will be used to fabricate the final test structures starting with studies

on available printing technology of solar cells




Reflections on partnership

strong points and weak points (if any)

- We have a track record of fruitful collaboration

- We have complementary expertise and equipment in the consortium

- Well focused work plan

- Good exchange of staff with RU (mainly based on RU own financial efforts)




what could be improved

- A simplification of the financial reports. They consist of several tables where the

same data has to be entered in several places, sometimes with and sometimes without

overheads. A single entry of one number should be sufficient for the accounters who

can use that number for any further calculation if necessary. It is often confusing in the

financial tables whether and when the co-funding has to be included or not.

- Exchange of staff could be improved by partners own efforts (very limited) or if other

financial resources are accessed (Erasmus – Plus and/or Bilateral National Fund)

Future steps

sustainability of consortium: are there any plans for continuation of

collaboration beyond this project/H2020 joint applications/other initiatives..?

- Strengthening the collaboration by exchange visits of young scientists foreseen for the

next year (Erasmus – Plus and/or Bilateral National Fund)

- new M-ERA NET project with RU - funding starts in early 2016

- H2020 joint initiatives within Future and Emerging Technologies calls (prospective

date january 2017)

- NIMP is analyzing the possibility of hosting an ERC starting grant with candidates

from donor countries




Thank you for your attention!
