Synchrotron characterization of solar cell materials

The aim of the project is to obtain a fundamental understanding of the atomic and chemical structures in thin film solar cells, close to interfacial regions, both ex situ as well as in situ under processing conditions or outdoor relevant environments and operating conditions, which is crucial for further optimization and stabilization of the solar cells.

For this purpose, we focus on materials characterization by employing synchrotron X-ray methods, in particular photoemission and absorption spectroscopies, which provide complementary information depths. The measurements are performed at large scale synchrotron radiation facilities around the world.
