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.
- Kick-off for a new data and AI centre in BerlinBy establishing a new data and AI centre in Berlin, the Zuse Institute Berlin (ZIB) and the Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin (HZB) are laying the foundations for a scalable and sovereign data infrastructure in the capital. The project strengthens the scientific capabilities of Berlin’s research community whilst making an important contribution to research security, resilience and technological independence.
- Humboldt-Fellow at HZB: Kayode Adesina AdegokeKayode Adesina Adegoke is a renowned chemist, affiliated with LAUTECH SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities Research Group), Department of Pure and Applied Chemistry, Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomoso, Nigeria. He is collaborating with Matthew Mayer, head of the "Electrochemical Conversion group", to investigate the degradation of electrocatalysts during electrochemical CO₂ reduction. The Alexander von Humboldt Fellowship enables him to stay at Helmholtz Zentrum Berlin up to 24 months.
- A duo for BESSY III light sourceSince 1 March 2026, Renske van der Veen and Andreas Jankowiak have formed the leadership team of BESSY III. Together, they will drive forward HZB’s central project: the planning and realisation of BESSY III light source in Berlin-Adlershof. Here, they talk about their motivation, the next steps, and why BESSY III is a a cross-generational project.
