🔬 Lange Nacht der Wissenschaften 2026 – wir waren dabei! #LNdW2026

✨Christiane Becker und Florian Riesebeck zeigten, wie Schokolade in den Farben des Regenbogens schimmern kann🌈.

☀️ @solartube beantwortete mit drei informativen Postern Fragen rund um #Solarenergie – von den Grundlagen bis zur Rolle der Solarenergie im #Energiesystem.

💡Jonas Schaible diskutierte am Zuse-Institut Berlin die Möglichkeiten farbiger Solarmodule.

On 9 and 10 October we hosted the 4th Workshop on Optics for Solar Energy in Berlin. Around 40 participants enjoyed 17 talks and 8 poster presentations from 8 countries. The workshop was part of the Photonic Days Berlin Brandenburg and organized together with the Computational Nanoptics Group from Zuse Institute Berlin.
We compared Nano-, Micro- and Biotextures on Solar Glasses for Increased Energy Yield. In this work we collaborated with Computational Nanooptics Group at Zuse Institute Berlin and the company temicon GmbH. https://doi.org/10.1002/solr.202300071

Join us as PhD student on Numerical Simulation of Nanotextured Optoelectronic Devices in collaboration with the Computational Nanooptics group at Zuse Institute Berlin.

Our group is part of Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin, a world-leading research centre on #solarenergy, e.g. #perovskite #solarcells.

Apply by 22 October!

HZB-Stellenausschreibung

Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin Stellenausschreibung

Customised nanotextures can help to improve perovskite semiconductor materials on diverse levels. These results are not only valuable for tandem solar cells made of perovskite and silicon, but also for perovskite-based light-emitting diodes.

In late 2021, nanotextures helped us to build perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells with 29.80% power conversion efficiency, which back then was the world record.
