Our consortium brings together 8 partners from different European countries: Italy, Finland, Spain and Denmark. The consortium has been carefully built up to cover all the disciplines needed to achieve the project’s goals. The team composition reflects a balance between research and technology organizations and enterprises to both ensure the technological skills to deliver this ambitious project and facilitate the results exploitation. All partners have strategic interests in the project and are strongly committed to it and to a synergic and collaborative approach.
University of Rome Tor Vergata (Italy)
The University of Rome “Tor Vergata” is based on a campus of 600 hectares with 43000 students and 19 Departments. The University has established in 2006 together with the Lazio Region the “Centre for Hybrid and Organic Solar Energy” (CHOSE). The centre’s objectives are the research and development for the industrialization of organic and hybrid organic-inorganic technologies via three main steps: define a technological process for organic/hybrid cells, develop fabrication processes for industrialization, foster technology transfer towards SMEs. CHOSE has the main laboratory has a surface of 650 m2 with over 300 m2 of class ISO7 clean room facilities with all the equipment necessary to carry out research on different photovoltaic technologies.
MOF group at UNITO has more than 20 years of experience in the design, synthesis and characterization of innovative materials for emerging photovoltaic technologies including, among others, functional molecules as sensitizers in NIR-DSSCs and small molecules and polymers as hole transport materials in PSCs. Since 2013, the group has been at the forefront of the development of aqueous DSSCs and more recently a research line on encapsulants for flexible solar cells has been developed. In the last years. the group focused the research effort on the development of a sustainable protocol for the synthesis of smart materials.
The Nanostructured Materials for Photovoltaic Energy Group (NMPE) group at ICN2 focuses on the synthesis of novel nanomaterials and the control of their optoelectronic properties through their manipulation at molecular level, with the aim of developing highly stable and highly efficient perovskite solar cells. Specifically, our contribution is in the area of solution processable metal oxides (classical and complex), halide perovskites (Pb-free, 2D and 3D) and more recently 2D materials and MXenes. We aim at the development of highly stable solar cells for industrial applications (e.g. building integration PV) and novel self-powered photovoltaic-based devices for Internet of things (IoT) applications (e.g. sensors, wearables, printed electronics). The group, with more than 15 years of experience in the field, is internationally recognized for its implication in the enhancement of the operational stability of emerging photovoltaics and the development of ISOS protocols.
infinityPV is a Danishhigh-tech company that centers on green transitioning and our in-depth knowledge base is on energy, chemistry, physics, mechanics, electronics, and software. We are extremely apt when it comes to inventiveness and development, which is what unifies the diverse workforce.
Endeas has been a part of the PV technology revolution from its early days. We provide testing solutions for PV manufacturers, laboratories and inspection bodies, materials research and universities, and our products range from large area industrial flash solar simulators combining several key characterisation methods to table-top solar cell testers used in R&D activities.
