Biography

​Dr. Wolfgang Tress is currently working as an Ambizione fellow at LSPM, EPFL in Switzerland, with general interests in developing and studying novel photovoltaic concepts and technologies. His research focuses on the device physics of perovskite solar cells; most recently, investigating recombination and hysteresis phenomena in this emerging material system. Previously, he was analyzing and modeling performance limiting processes in organic solar cells. In 2016, he was awarded the Zeno Karl Schindler award and received the EES Reader's Choice Lectureship for the most influential article in EES in 2015 published by a young researcher.

Device Physics of Perovskite Solar Cells – Hysteresis and Recombination
03:30 PM

Solar cells based on lead halide perovskites have recently emerged showing a tremendous increase of power-conversion efficiency which exceeded 22%. In this tutorial talk, the device physics of perovskite solar cells is addressed. The focus is on recombination of charge carriers because this process is ultimately limiting the performance.
