At the 5th International Conference on Perovskite Solar Cells and Optoelectronics (PSCO-19) Dr. Götz Schuck received a prize for his poster contribution. The international conference took place from 30.09.2019 to 02.10.2019 in Lausanne, Switzerland.
Halide Perovskites are outstanding candidates for extremely efficient and yet cost-effective solar cells. In the most studied perovskite variant, the lattice sites of a perovskite structure are occupied by the halide element iodine, the metal lead and the organic molecule methylammonium. But what happens when iodine is replaced by chlorine?
Götz Schuck investigated this question using neutron scattering experiments and other methods. He presented the results on his poster titled "Influence of chloride substitution on the rotational dynamics of methylammonium in MAPb(I,Cl)3 perovskites".
"This award shows the high quality of Götz Schuck's research on the dynamic structure of halide perovskites", says Prof. Dr. Susan Schorr, head of the department Structure and Dynamics of Energy Materials. At the conference 150 posters have been presented, 7 of which were awarded with a poster prize.
- New technique could make MRI more preciseA team of researchers at the University of Stuttgart and HZB has developed a new method that could make MRI even more precise by eliminating “dead time,” a key limiting factor in the measurement process, thereby enabling the detection of signals that are lost using conventional methods. This method opens up new possibilities for medical diagnostics and non-destructive materials testing. The research team presents the new approach in Science Advances.
- Marcel Risch has been appointed Professor at the Freie Universität BerlinMarcel Risch was appointed to a W2-S professorship in the Department of Physics at Freie Universität Berlin in August 2026. His research group has been transformed into the department 'Mechanisms of Sustainable Electrocatalysis'. Risch investigates the fundamental mechanisms of electrocatalytic reactions and, on this basis, develops knowledge- and data-driven strategies to improve electrocatalysts for the sustainable production of hydrogen, fuels and chemicals.
- Detailed insights at BESSY II into the oxidation processes of copperBefore pure copper oxide builds up, complex superstructures such as ‘29’CuxO, are formed. The new results on the '29' CuxO superstructure have relevance for catalyst research and corrosion protection in the development of safe copper containers for nuclear waste repositories.
