Information

Consistent processing, reliable metrology, and structured data handling are essential for managing halide perovskite solar cells. This talk summarizes HZB's activities on solution-processed perovskite solar cells and the needs of a standardized data management tool enabling process control, traceability, and faster scale-up. Our approach involves combining experimental data with metadata-rich logging and standardization workflows. Proper data structures not only support FAIR and transparent research but also lay the groundwork for automation and machine-assisted process optimization in perovskite solar cell development.
Helmholtz-Zentrum BerlinSecuring a climate-friendly energy future is one of the greatest challenges facing our society. Through research and innovation, we at HZB are helping to develop solutions and support the scientific community in realizing this goal. We research and develop complex materials that help to master key challenges such as the energy transition and resource scarcity, and thus secure our long-term prosperity. To achieve this, we are driving forward the discovery of new materials and the development of innovative technologies, together with leading partners from research and industry in Germany and around the world. As part of our mission, we operate state-of-the-art research infrastructures and instruments, in particular the light source BESSY II, which provides synchrotron radiation over a wide energy range: here we record an average of 2700 visits from guest researchers from 28 countries per year. At HZB, we investigate how the macroscopic properties of materials arise and which microscopic structures and processes are responsible for this. This understanding is a prerequisite for developing materials with customized properties and functionalities. We research materials and technologies that enable a reliable and sustainable energy supply - from new types of solar cells and innovative battery storage systems to catalytically active materials for the production of green hydrogen as an energy carrier. We are also developing highly efficient quantum materials that could revolutionize the information technologies of the future.
