Aixtron announced that it will be pushing forward with research on perovskite solar cells within the “PeroBOOST” project together with University of Cologne, Enerthing, Lunovu, SOLUXX, the Center for Organic Electronics Cologne (ZOEK), the Fraunhofer ISE Laboratory and Service Center Gelsenkirchen, and Duisburg-Essen University.

The basis for this three-year project (03/2016-02/2019) is the discovery of the superb properties of organo-perovskite materials for efficient solar cells. The “PeroBOOST” project will be focusing above all on two aspects and aiming to develop these further: Efficient and stable lead-free perovskite solar cells, and scaling up methods and techniques.
