Welcome to the FME SOLAR workshop: Materials for solar cells beyond Schockely-Queisser 

In this hybrid workshop we will get an overview of the work in Norway on solar cell materials research, where the aim is to go beyond the Schockley-Queisser limit. This workshop is a collaboration between FME SOLAR and the Centre for Materials Science and Nanotechnology (SMN) at UiO. The agenda may change slightly.

Agenda:

Tandem solar cells 

  • 9:15 An introduction to tandem materials, Kristin Bergum (IFE) 
  • 9:30 Invited talk: Understanding and mitigating interface losses: towards >35% tandem PV, Sebastian Bonilla (University of Oxford) 
  • 10:00 Hyperspectral imaging of perovskite solar cells, Ivar Loland Råheim (NMBU)
  • 10:30  Break 

Oxide-based materials 

  • 10:45 Prospects for combinatorial materials science at UiO, Holger von Wenckstern (UiO) 
  • 11:00  SnWO4 for tandem solar cell applications, Ingvild Bergsbak (UiO) 
  • 11:15  Exploring novel oxide-perovskites for tandem PV applications, Anjali Choubey (UiO) 
  • 11:30 Photoactive materials discovery with Combinatorial Pulsed Laser Deposition, Magnus Andreassen (UiO) 
  • 11:45 Oxide-based materials for intermediate band solar cells, Eskil Vik (NTNU) 

12:00 Lunch 

 Oxides and nitrides 

  • 13:00 Ab initio screening of nitrides for the use in tandem solar cells, Chris Erik Mohn (UiO 
  • 13:15 Novel II-IV nitrides, Vegard Standeren Olsen (SINTEF) 
  • 13:30 Spinel oxides for photovoltaics – as made by ALD, Harald Fredriksen Høiland  (UiO) 
  • 13:45 Bandgap tuning of CuxZn1-xO by ALD, Viktor Bilstad (UiO) 

14:00 Discussions 

The workshop will be finished at 15:00 at the latest, pending updates to the program 

Deadline for registration November 11th.
