The Z-HIT Algorithm

Phenomena such as drift may influence data recorded by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The Z-HIT algorithm helps to prove the stationarity and the linearity of a test object and allows to reconstruct the not affected data from the phase shift of the EIS measurement. more...

Solar Cells and Photovoltaics

Investigation of silicon solar cells (SC), dye sensitized SC, perovskite SC, Grätzel SC, organic photovoltaics (OPV), and other photoactive devices such as photo sensors. Determining power conversion efficiency, incident-photon-to-current-conversion efficiency IPCE, fillfactor and charge extraction.

Depleting fossil energy resources and the climate change are forcing to look for alternatives. Here, photovoltaics have been seen as the most promising environmental friendly energy supply for the past decades.

The direct conversion of sunlight into electricity is emission free, quiet and reliable. With time, dozens of different solar cells types were investigated, but only a few have been established. Nevertheless, the urge of changing our way of energy production makes research in the field of solar cells absolutely essential. New materials have to be found showing high solar energy conversion efficiencies at low cost productions.
