Project Results

Summary: The goal of the project is to conduct scientific research related to geopolymer pastes in a conductive and/or transparent configuration, similar to transparent conductive oxides (TCL), in order to expand the state of knowledge regarding the application of such materials in solar cells (SC). Related to SCs, the goal is to expand the state of knowledge related to the preparation and bonding of nanostructured TCLs and charge transport layers (CTLs). In the context of the assembly of semiconductor materials-based devices such as SCs and other devices for energy preparation, conversion and storage, the goal is to enable a better understanding of the structure, morphology and stability of the mentioned layers. Examples of different elements for solar cells are various heterojunctions, hybrid organic multiphase heterojunctions, photoactive perovskites and similar layers.

Results: The project successfully conducted scientific research on the preparation and interconnection of nanostructured CTL and TCL layers. The project significantly expanded the state of knowledge in the context of SCs, but also in the broader context of devices for the preparation, conversion and storage of energy. Based on the above, it can be said that the project was particularly successful in terms of the application of researched materials and the networking of scientists. During the project, the head of the Group employed 7 doctoral students and 3 postdoctoral students from various project sources, and ~20 master and graduate theses were prepared. The leader also established the Laboratory for Thin Films at the Faculty of Chemical Engineering and Technology. The results of the project made it possible to obtain >5 projects, with actual 3 applications for HORIZON calls. The results were disseminated in over 50 scientific papers with international peer review, of which ~30 papers were cited in Q1 Current Contents journals, and at about 100 international scientific meetings, of which about 10 were plenary/invited presentations.
