Associate Professor Mikkel N. Schmidt, DTU Compute, leads the research project that aims to make solar cells more efficient over the next 6 years.
Solar cells are important because they have a significant impact on the use of renewable energy in the future. Existing solar cells are expensive to produce and require large amounts of materials. Therefore, it would benefit the green transition to develop more efficient, cheaper, and thinner solar cells that are also much more flexible.
Using the supercomputer Gefion, artificial intelligence will suggest new materials for the thin solar cells during the project. DTU Nanolab will produce and test the solar cells in the centre's laboratories, while two departments at DTU Physics contribute with knowledge about, among other things, the properties of materials.
