Spectroscopy and Imaging Platform for Photoactive Materials

The aim of this platform is to establish a comprehensive analytic tool-box for the characterisation of solutionprocessable materials for thin-film solar cells based on materials such as perovskites. These materials have excellent light harvesting properties with absorption edges beyond 800 nm. A particular focus will be made on time-resolved transient absorption and microwave conductivity phenomena and on lock-in thermographic imaging capabilities. This will accelerate the ongoing materials and technological development in this strongly emergingresearch field.
