Our new paper: ‘Influence of hole transport material ionization energy on performance of perovskite solar cells’ by B. Dänekamp et al., has been accepted for publication in the Journal of Materials Chemistry C. https://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlelanding/2018/tc

Natalie presented the advantages of organic solar cells during a Saturday outreach event at the University of Bern (“Chemie am Samstag”)

Nikos and Natalie attended the ITN INFORM summer school in Cyprus: Exciting Science, beautiful country and great food. Thank you Sophia Hayes for organising!

Philipp’s paper on THz short range mobilities in polymer:fullerene blends with controlled phase morphology is out.

Nikolaos and Philipp participated in the Gordon Research Conference Electronic Processes in Organic Materials:

From Spin Physics to Bioelectronics and Novel Approaches to Doping in Organic Materials

Natalie gave an invited talk “Charge generation in bilayer polymer:non-fullerene solar cells” at SPIE Photonics Europe 2018 in Strasbourg.

Martina, Demetra, Philipp and Julien attended the Les Houches School of Physics on Excitonics in Les Houches. In front of the Mont-Blanc massif they presented and discussed their projects.

Thuc-Quyen Nguyen from UC Santa Barbara visited us in Bern and gave an excellent talk entitled “Doping of Conjugated Polymers: Fundamental Understanding and Applications”.
