We are thrilled to celebrate Christoph’s remarkable achievement of being recognized as a Highly Cited Researcher (HCR) in the cross-field by the Web of Science Group, part of Clarivate Analytics, for an unprecedented 11th consecutive year! This accolade places him among the top 1% of scientists glo...

We warmly congratulate Junyi Xu on successfully passing his PhD exams with excellent grades! The innovative procedures he has developed for synthesizing doped organic nanoparticles for HTL lay a strong foundation for advancing all-solution-processed organic photovoltaic (OPV) cells using green solv...

Flexible and lightweight PV devices are becoming an essential direction in photovoltaics. Driven by the progress in organic and perovskite PV, promising application fields such as wearable, portable, indoor, and internet-of-things are coming into sight. We have started to report on flexible PV devi...

Christoph is initiator of the Helmholtz Association’s Solar Technology Acceleration Platform (Solar TAP) and serves as the spokesperson for its steering committee. A new initiative aimed at advancing the adoption of flexible, lightweight, and semi-transparent printed solar photovoltaics (PV). Solar...

Dr. Yan Lingpeng, an Associate Professor at Taiyuan University of Technology in China, focuses on the stability of organic solar cells. During his academic visit at i-MEET, he concentrated on the thermal-induced degradation mechanisms and stability enhancement of high-efficiency non-fullerene organ...

While wavelength-dependent photodegradation of organic solar cells (OSCs) under visible light is typically discussed in terms of UV/blue light-activated phenomena, we recently demonstrated wavelength-dependent degradation rates up to 660 nm for PM6:Y6. In this study, we systematically investigated ...

Christoph participated in the recent IPVF Scientific Day. He presented insights on leveraging AI and automation to accelerate discoveries in the field of perovskite research. We extend our gratitude to Prof. Pere Roca for organizing this insightful event and for highlighting the work of Prof. Brabe...

Alan Jay Heeger, an American physicist, academic, Nobel Prize laureate in Chemistry "for their discovery and development of conductive polymers" and a long-time companion of Christoph at Konarka recently gave a lecture titled “Conducting Polymers in Biology and Medicine” at the University of Califo...

Recently, students from the eighth grade of Eichendorffschule in Erlangen visited i-MEET and HI ERN. The visit was part of the "Gemeinsam" project, which aims to inspire young people for natural sciences and modern research. The project is led by the School Museum at FAU and cooperates with four mi...
