Professor, Instituto de Ciencia Molecular, University of Valencia.
Hendrik Bolink obtained his PhD in Materials Science at the University of Groningen in 1997 under the supervision of Prof. Hadziioannou. After that he worked at DSM as a materials scientist and project manager in the central research and new business development department, respectively. In 2001 he joined Philips, to lead the materials development activity of Philips´s PolyLED project.
Since 2003 he is at the Instituto de Ciencia Molecular (ICMol )of the University of Valencia where he initiated a research line on molecular opto-eletronic devices. His research has been cited 12000 times and he has an h-index of 56 according to google scholar.
His current research interests encompass: inorganic/organic hybrid materials such as transition metal complexes and perovskites and their integration in LEDs and solar cells.
Perovskite based solar cells, mostly employ solution processed perovskite layers. Evaporated methylammonium lead iodide perovskite layers have also been reported and been employed in solar cells. Our group has developed several perovskite based solar cells, using vacuum based perovskite preparation methods. These metal oxide free p-i-n type perovskite cells exhibit high power-conversion efficiencies. We have extended this work to fully evaporated perovskite devices reaching power conversion efficiencies as high as 20 % in a planar single junction device and similar performance in tandem devices. Avenues to further increase the device performance by using multiple cation perovskite prepared via sublimation will also be presented.
