Offer Description
The objective of the current project is to understand the mechanisms of degradation in Perovskite Solar Cells (PSCs). To address the stability issues, the research will focus on the synthesis of perovskite materials, analysis of interfacial and defects phenomena, exploration of optimal electron and hole transport layers, and innovative device configurations. These studies will be conducted at the São Paulo State University’s Bauru School of Sciences (FC-UNESP) in Brazil.
Requirements:
– The candidate must possess a Ph.D. in Physics, Materials Science & Engineering, Chemistry, or a related field.
– Experience with perovskite solar cells is essential.
– Proficiency in various film deposition methods (blade-coating, roll-to-roll, spray-coating, etc.) will be positively evaluated.
– Previous experience with Photothermal Deflection Spectroscopy (PDS) or Charge Extraction by Linearly Increasing Voltage (CELIV) characterization techniques is a plus.
– Fluency in English is required.
Key project aims:
I. Optimization of perovskite compositions.
II. Design of novel electron and hole transport layers.
III. Characterization of the structure, morphology, and optical properties of nanomaterials used as active components in PSCs.
IV. Investigation of defects in PSCs using advanced spectroscopic and electrical techniques such as PDS and photo-CELIV (photoinduced).
The selected candidate will receive a monthly post-doctoral fellowship from the São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP) in the amount of R$ 9,047.40 and a research contingency fund equivalent to 10% of the annual fellowship value to be used for research-related expenses.
