I still can't believe what's happening in #Germany's #battery research sector. This puts us even further behind the competition and will potentially have a strong impact on related industries in the long term, such as the #automotiveindustry. Unless, of course, the industry moves elsewhere (which we are already seeing). Good for the industry, but not good for the people in Germany. Most of the young scientists who are driving innovation in this area are working on 50-60% of the standard income anyway. But they are the ones who are pushing innovation the most. I am not sure how we are going to keep up with the rest of the world in this fundamental change in the energy sector.
From 2024 on, funding for #battery #research will be cut to a fraction of the previous years. A decision with far-reaching consequences for Germany as a location for research, science and business, says Martin Winter, founding director of MEET Battery Research Center at the Universität Münster and of Helmholtz Institute Münster of Forschungszentrum Jülich.

Topic Summary 📑 What to expect from Topic 1? "Some think that silicon photovoltaics is the dinosaur of PV. Well, it is not extinct yet. 😊 On the contrary, still alive and kicking and ready to join forces with the new stuff in tandems. So please attend to the presentations of Topic 1 and learn more about silicon material, solar cell structures (including heterojunctions, TOPCon and IBC) and state-of-the-art industrial c-Si manufacturing, the backbone of photovoltaic industry. Explore advanced characterization methods which allow you to understand defects and degradation mechanisms. And last but not least you will see that silicon solar cells are also the base for the next generation of photovoltaics, i.e. silicon-based tandem cells (together with Topic 2). Looking forward to meeting you in Lisbon, enjoying exciting science and technology!" http://bit.ly/46E7CPm Prof. Dr. Stefan Glunz Fraunhofer-Institut für Solare Energiesysteme ISE, Freiburg, Germany

DGIST team sheds light on mechanisms enhancing efficiency in thin-film solar cells. by Riko Seibo - Tokyo, Japan (SPX) Researchers from Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science and Technology (DGIST), in collaboration with academics from Ewha Womans University, Incheon National University, and MIT, have made significant progress in understanding electron-hole separation in kesterite thin-film solar cells. This discovery is poised to enhance solar cell efficiency and support the transition to sustainable energy sources. Solar cells convert sunlight into electricity and are viewed as vital to future energy solutions due to their environmental benefits and unlimited raw material-the sun. Kesterite thin-film solar cells, composed of copper, zinc, and tin, offer a cost-effective solution. However, their efficiency has been limited. The team's study focused on the mechanisms of electron and hole separation within the light-absorbing layers of these cells. They utilized scanning probe microscopy to examine how these separations occur, particularly at the interfaces between crystals, which is critical for improving performance. https://lnkd.in/dCQhyZfr
