Solar cells of the future
Young researcher at FAU develops system for increasing the efficiency of organic solar cells. Organic solar cells are cheaper to produce and more flexible than their counterparts made of crystalline silicon, but do not offer the same level of efficiency or stability. A group of researchers led by Prof. Christoph Brabec, Director of the Institute […]

Photovoltaics: from basic research to industrial applications
An interview with FAU materials scientist Prof. Dr. Christoph Brabec Sustainable energy is hard to imagine without photovoltaic technology. Photovoltaic cells have a particular advantage as they can be mounted on almost all surfaces, even inside window panes. Even older buildings can be retrofitted in many scenarios. The importance of photovoltaic technology will continue to […]
