[Aspuru-Guzik Group List] [Responses Needed] Group Retreat, October 27-30

by Siria Serrano

Dear all, As you know, this year's group retreat will be in Cape Cod on October 27-30th (original "save the date" message below). In order to finalize logistics for food, beds, transportation, etc I need everyone to please fill out the survey found through the link below. I need all responses in before 10 AM on Friday, September 29th. Link to survey <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfPhidJV36ene3JVoW-wwS1TZ03h1QbB5W…> Cheers, Siria ..............................................................................................................................................

Siria Serrano <aspuru.facultyassistant(a)gmail.com> Jul 21 to A-G Dear Group Members, Please mark your calendars for our Group Retreat which will be taking place in Barnstable, MA* October 27-30, 2017!* We will be holding the retreat in conjunction with the Cape Cod Marathon Weekend <http://www.capecodmarathon.com/> with group members participating in both the Half Marathon on Saturday, October 28th at 7:30 AM and the Full Marathon on Sunday, October 29th at 8:30 AM. Details for both races can be found on the site, link above and you do *not* have to run either race to participate in the retreat! We will stay together at a home we've rented for the weekend: Location <https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/16042826?wl_source=list&wl_id=225671917&role=w…> . As you can see in the listing, there are only 11 beds so we need most to be ready to bring air mattresses or sleeping bags. We feel that the house more than makes up for the lack of beds with a host of other amazing features y'all are sure to enjoy. Felix and I will start working on the logistics now and we'll forward those details as soon as they become available. Stay tuned!

[Aspuru-Guzik Group List] Excitonics/Perovskite Seminar: Edison Castro, Wed. Oct 4, 36-428

by Catherine M Bourgeois

Please post and forward to your groups: Center for Excitonics-Perovskite Seminar Series presents: Improved Performance and Stability of Inverted Planar Perovskite Solar Cells Using Fullerene Layers* October 4, 2017 at 12 noon/von Hippel rm: 13-2137 Edison Castro Department of Chemistry, University of Texas, El Paso [http://www.rle.mit.edu/excitonics/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/castro_2-234x3…] The unique properties of organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite materials make them promising candidates for developing next-generation photovoltaic cells for commercial applications to compete with silicon solar cells. Inverted planar structure perovskite solar cells (PSCs), due to their low temperature precessing and lack of hysteretic problems, are attracting increased attention by researchers around the world. Fullerene derivatives are the most widely used electron transporting materials (ETMs) in inverted planar perovskite solar cells, especially [6,6]-phenyl-C61-butyric acid methylester (PC61BM), which exhibits very good performance. However, the influence of adducts on fullerene-based PSCs performance has not been fully explored to date. Here, new C60 and C70 fullerene derivatives were synthesized in high yields via Bingel and 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions at room temperature and incorporated into perovskite solar cells as electron transporting materials. Edison Castro obtained his BSc from the Universidad de Narino, Colombia in 2008, and his M.S. degree from the Universidad del Valle in Cali, Colombia in 2011. Currently he is pursuing his Ph.D. under the supervision of Prof. Luis Echegoyen at The University of Texas at El Paso, His current research interests include the synthesis of fullerene derivatives for photovoltaic and biological applications, and design of perovskite solar cells. He has published coauthored 30 publications (6 from his master degree and 24 from his Ph.D.). *This talk is part of the Perovskites Seminar Series organized by Juan-Pablo Correa-Baena from MIT's PV Lab and sponsored by the Center for Excitonics. For more info contact Juan-Pablo: jpcorrea(a)mit.edu<mailto:jpcorrea@mit.edu> The Center For Excitonics Is An Energy Frontier Research Center Funded By The U.S. Department Of Energy, Office Of Science And Office Of Basic Energy Sciences Lunch will be provided
