PhD scholarship in Selenium Solar Cells – DTU Physics

The SURFCAT section at DTU Physics explores the use of catalysis and solar energy harvesting to secure renewable energy for the future. Novo Nordisk Fonden (NNF) has funded the SelSiCELL project which aims to make high performance solar cells based on selenium (c-Se) as the photoabsorber, and to make tandem solar cells based on the c-Se/c-Si architecture. The project is mostly experimental, and you will design, build and operate various high-vacuum equipment for making the samples as well as an array of characterization techniques for benchmarking samples.
