University TOR Vergata & AIT VIPERLAB Research Infrastructures for the Peroskite PV

Dr. Natalia Maticiuc, HZB Technical manager of Viperlab project introduces the webinar and the speakers

This infrastructure consists of two main infrastructures: the first, CHOSE@ROME, is located on the campus of the University of Rome Tor Vergata (Italy), and focuses on technological manufacturing processes and device characterization. The second, CHOSE@TURIN,  associated with the University of Turin (Italy), is focused on the development of materials from the point of view of chemistry.

CHOSE Infrastructure proposes technologies and equipment for the single and tandem module fabrication based on  well-defined fabrication protocols, or on request, with user-defined protocols.

The availability of the full chain for the fabrication and chracterization, offers an  unique combination to CHOSE to rapidly adapt fabrication processes and materials to user demands by designing, fabricating and characterizing single-junction solution process perovskite cells, mechanically stacked tandem perovskite/silicon cells, modules and panels and using automated sheet-to-sheet techniques for both glass and other substrates.

CHOSE is also developing the graphene-perovskite/silicon tandem process by combining physical deposition and solution deposition process in an automated batch process . It  has fabricated with this technology 0.5m2 panels which have been tested for more than one year in external conditions.

CHOSE also participates in the main national and international projects for the development of Perovskite modules in collaboration with the Research Organziations. Academies and  private companies.

AIT Austrian Institute of Technology is Austria's largest research and technology organisation, More than 250 experts are working on the energy systems of the future. Photovoltaics, together with other renewable energy sources, will form the central pillar of our future energy supply. In the field of photovoltaics, AIT offers more than 20 years of experience applying beyond state-of-the-art laboratory infrastructure. The infrastructure offered by AIT to VIPERLAB project consists of tools for PV characterization/reliability and development of thin film coatings, which makes AIT Lab one of the few locations in Europe where such thorough tests can be realized.
