Seminar: Metal halide perovskites for optoelectronics: the interplay of physics and chemistry

Seminar, 2020/01/23 - 10:15 to 2020/01/23 - 11:15

Metal halide perovskites have attracted enormous attention in the scientific community in recent years. This attention has been drawn by breakthroughs in perovskite optoelectronics, mainly in photovoltaics and LEDs.

Seminar (extra): Materials for Robust, Inexpensive and High Performance Photoelectrochemical Fuel Production

Seminar, 2020/01/13 - 10:15 to 2020/01/13 - 11:15

The development of robust and inexpensive semiconducting materials that operate at high efficiency are needed to make the direct solar-to-fuel energy conversion by photoelectrochemical (PEC) cells economically viable.

New year seminar: Going South: The Antarctic Peninsula

Seminar, 2020/01/09 - 10:15 to 2020/01/09 - 11:15

The southernmost continent holds much appeal for a variety of reasons. One century ago, visiting its icy shores posed a great challenge, while whales and seals were exploited as a natural resource. Today, Antarctica's fascinating but fragile ecosystem is embattled amidst climate change and the threat of its ores being extracted once the Antarctic Treaty may expire in 2041.
