LMPV wins Team Science Award

The team of group leaders leading AMOLF’s Light Management in Photovoltaic Materials (LMPV) program has won the NWO Team Science Award 2023. With the award NWO rewards the most inspiring and successful team of researchers from various disciplinary fields, who jointly take on a scientific challenge in which their individual strengths and expertise demonstrably reinforce each other. The LMPV team will receive the prize money amounting 50.000 euro to be spend on team related activities.

Albert Polman, LMPV program director: “We feel very proud. This prize awards all our joint initiatives to grow a team of multiple group leaders and their researchers. It further strengthens the LMPV program for many years to come.”

The LMPV-team

The LMPV team consists of five members that each bring their own expertise to shape the research program that they are working on. Their goal is to create a better understanding of photovoltaic (nano)materials to translate these findings to industrial users and by doing so, speed up the energy transition.
The team is very diverse and has a good team structure according to the committee. They have a clear scientific goal and their diverse expertise is all needed to reach this goal. From the nomination it is clear that this team works closely together and also has attention for the team dynamic. The team has developed a working philosophy that has a clear focus on talent development and mentorship. Additionally the team has attention for activities outside of the work environment that will strengthen the team.

Research highlights

Natural phenomena ‘hyperuniform disorder’ enables highly efficient, thin silicon solar cells

Silicon solar panels are rigid and heavy, and many rooftops cannot support them. This creates a need for thin, flexible solar cells that can be integrated into building materials. However, making silicon solar cells thinner makes it harder to trap light inside the material. Researchers in the 3D Photovoltaics group found a fascinating way to overcome this challenge using a phenomenon called hyperuniform disorder. They publish their findings in the journal ACS Photonics.

The researchers were able to make highly efficient silicon solar cell materials that are 30 times thinner than conventional ones. They managed to do this by integrating a layer of nanometer sized structures on top of the material. Up close, this pattern looks random, but it is remarkably when you step back: no clumps, no gaps, and no repeating pattern. This is called hyperuniform disorder (or HUD).

Off Road grant for a better understanding of intestinal cells that communicate with the immune system

AMOLF postdoc Dr. Susanna Eli received an Off Road grant from ZonMw to investigate cells known as M cells in the gut lining that connect the intestine to the immune system. Understanding how M cells develop could ultimately contribute to better treatments for intestinal and immune-related diseases. The grant amounts to 100,000 euros.
