[Aspuru-Guzik Group List] John Randazzo: Access to Building

by Siria Serrano

Group Members, John is looking for the postdoc and undergrad from our group who went upstairs to ask him for access to the building and our labs. He has misplaced the name of the student he is to give access to and neither Felix nor I know who this is. Please just shoot us an email with the person needing access and we'll connect with John. Cheers, Siria -- *Siria Serrano* *Faculty Assistant* *Aspuru-Guzik Group* *Harvard University **Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology* *12 Oxford St. M 136* *Cambridge, MA 02138* *P:** (617) 496-1716 <%28617%29%20496-1716>** F: **617-496-9411 <617-496-9411>*

[Aspuru-Guzik Group List] Special Excitonics Seminar TODAY: 4:15 PM Harvard University

by Catherine M Bourgeois

SPECIAL CENTER FOR EXCITONICS SEMINAR TODAY! FRIDAY FEBRUARY 10 4:15 PM Harvard University, Department of Chemistry & Chemical Biology 12 Oxford St, Cambridge, MA 02138 Pfizer Lecture Hall HIGH THROUGHPUT MATERIAL AND PROCESSING CONCEPTS FOR PRINTED PHOTOVOLTAICS Christoph J. Brabec, i-MEET, Department of Material Science, Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nurnberg, ZAE Bayern e.V., Renewable Energies, Erlangen, D- 91058 Germany Solution processed semiconductors play an essential role in the future renewable energy scenarios where power generation by photovoltaics will be one of the pillars for the world´s clean energy supply. The printed organic photovoltaics technology has evolved from the 1 % regime in the 90s to the 10 % regime nowadays. Perovskite semiconductors have lead the efficiency pathway of printed semiconductors beyond the 20 % regime. Most interestingly, some candidates of the most recent generation of high performance materials show a number of unforeseen microstructure related degradation mechanisms, which are closely related to their performance. This presentation will outline the fundamentals of printed PV and reflect the current state of the art, the roadmaps and the application fields of this technology. Several concepts will be discussed in more detail, among them the organic BHJ technology as well as the perovskite technology. A joint roadmap towards a green, renewable & sustainable energy scenario will be introduced, highlighting the potential of printed PV to cover mobile, integrated as well as installed power applications. Recent advances in material and device processing have opened a venue to introduce high-throughput and combinatorial methods into the photovoltaics research. First experimental investigations underpin the complexity to introduce high throughput systematics as a concept for device engineering as compared to material designing. The last part of the presentation will introduce into the concept of robot based systems as a hardware platform for high throughput device engineering. [cid:image002.png@01D2838F.ADB30BC0]Prof. Dr. Christoph J. Brabec, Email: christoph.brabec(a)fau.de Christoph J. Brabec is holding the chair "materials for electronics and energy technology (i-MEET)" at the materials science of the Friedrich Alexander University Erlangen-Nürnberg. Further, he is the scientific director of the Erlangen division of the Bavarian research institute for renewable energy (ZAE Bayern, Erlangen), board member of the ZAE Bavaria and board member of the Energy Campus Nurnberg. He received his PhD (1995) in physical chemistry from Linz university, joined the group of Prof Alan Heeger at UCSB for a sabbatical, and continued to work on all aspects of organic semiconductor spectroscopy as assistant professor at Linz university. He joined the SIEMENS research labs as project leader for organic semiconductor devices in 2001, finished his habilitation in physical chemistry in 2003 at Linz university and joined Konarka in 2004, where he was holding the position of the CTO before joining Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nürnberg
