Integrating Novel Hole Transport Materials in Perovskite based Solar Cells
Intense research on organo-metal halide perovskite–based solar cells has led to a rapid improvement in power conversion efficiencies from 3.8 to >21% over the last 6 years. Although the perovskite solar cells show great potential, several science and engineering challenges need to be addressed.
Keywords: Perovskite, Solar Cells
Research interest ranges from the fundamentals of photophysical processes to large-area device fabrication. A team at the Laboratory for Functional Polymers at Empa is researching large-area deposition processes of perovskite solar cell materials. We continuously strive to improve our efficiencies by introducing new materials into our process flow.

The focus of this master thesis is the **synthesis of novel hole conductors** and **integrating these materials in the fabrication process** of lead-halide perovskite solar cells. The first phase of the project will involve learning the synthesis process and getting hands-on with the characterization tools. In the second phase, the synthesized materials will be utilized to fabricate devices and characterize their performance.
The position is available upon appointment and open for students with a background in engineering / natural sciences and a little practical experience in chemical synthesis.
