PhD position: Stable Perovskite Solar Cells by Controlling Ion Migration

We are looking for a PhD student to work on the topic of stable perovskite solar cells by controlling ion migration. Perovskite solar cells are a promising technology for low-cost and high-efficiency photovoltaics, but their long-term stability remains a challenge. In this project, you will study the fundamental mechanisms of ion migration in perovskite materials and develop strategies to mitigate it, leading to stable perovskite solar cells. The project will involve advanced materials characterization, device fabrication and testing, and close collaboration with experimental and theoretical groups. You will have the opportunity to publish your work in high-impact journals and present it at international conferences.
