Scholarship Details:
The exploitation of organic materials for converting sunlight into electricity is believed to convey several advantages such as light weight, flexibility, environmental friendliness, a low thermal budget, low cost and most notably very fast modes of production by printing techniques. Issues related to scaling to large area plastic solar cells are slowly starting to be resolved and production of very large modules up 1000 square centimetres have been reported. Some challenges remain to be addressed before organic solar cells can fulfil their potential as a pervasive, low-cost source of renewable energy, notably improving their efficiency and their long term stability.
The Solar Energy Programme at Risø DTU is among the world’s research leaders in organic solar cells – a cost-efficient alternative to silicon-based solar cells. The solar cell group is expanding in various scientific directions covering all possible aspects of organic solar cells. The Solar Energy Programme consists of a dynamical and versatile group of people with a positive team spirit.
A PhD scholarship in processing and manufacturing methods is available in the project “Organic-based photovoltaic cells with morphology control” supported by the Danish National Research Foundation (Grundforskningsfonden).
Project description:
The aim of the PhD project is to develop ink systems and roll-to-roll processing methods for the materials developed in the project and enable structural and chemical characterization of the system using the methodologies employed in the project.
Qualifications:
* Master’s degree in physics, materials science, chemistry, engineering or a similar degree with an academic level equivalent to the master’s degree in engineering
* Ability to work independently, to plan and carry out complicated tasks, and to be a part of a large, dynamical group
* Good communication skills in English, both written and spoken
We offer:
We offer an exciting and challenging job in an international environment. Good possibilities for professional and personal growth. A family friendly organization with flexible working hours.
