At the 25th International Photovoltaic Science & Engineering Conference (PVSEC) two papers from the HZB-Institute PVcomB have been awarded: Jan-Peter Bäcker and Marc Daniel Heinemann received the PVSEC-25 Paper Award for their research on chalcogenide solar cells (CIGS). The PVSEC was held from 15. to 20. November in Busan, Korea.

Jan-Peter Bäcker and his co-authors presented their research on phase separation in Copper-Indium-Gallium precursor thin films for sequentially processed Cu(In,Ga)Se2 solar cells". Marc Daniel Heinemann and his co-authors reported on results on CIGS solarcells in „superstrate“-configurations.
