Excellent Master, Diploma, and PhD Students from all over the world from different disciplines are invited to participate in the international summer university ISUenergy2015. The ISUenergy2015 will take place from Aug. 23rd - Sept. 4th 2015 in Falera/Switzerland.

The interdisciplinary summer university focuses on solar energy under a multitude of perspectives: from the physics of photovoltaics and solar thermal energy to solar architecture and electromobility, smart grids and the economic and political aspects of renewable energy use. These topics will be treated in lectures, evening talks, practical workshops, and group projects.

This summer university is internationally established since 2009 and provides a unique setting for students to enrich their knowledge on energy topics. Splendid network opportunities among the students and with the lecturers will be offered.

    On the road to non-toxic and stable perovskite solar cells
    The promising halide perovskite materials for solar energy conversion show high efficiencies, but this comes at a cost: The best perovskite materials incorporate toxic lead which poses a hazard to the environment. To replace lead by less toxic elements is not easy since lead-free perovskites show lower stability and poor efficiencies. Now, an international collaboration has engineered a new hybrid perovskite material with promising efficiency and stability. [...]

    User research at BESSY II: How new materials increase the efficiency of direct ethanol fuel cells
    A group from Brazil and an HZB team have investigated a novel composite membrane for ethanol fuel cells. It consists of the polymer Nafion, in which nanoparticles of a titanium compound are embedded by the rarely explored melt extrusion process. At BESSY II they were able to observe in detail, how the nanoparticles in the Nafion matrix are distributed and how they contribute to increase proton conductivity. [...]
