ChimicA PER L'ENERGIA
Le fonti rinnovabili di energia , idrogeno verde, dispositivi high-tech e a basso costo che utilizzano materiali smart avanzati sono al centro della "rivoluzione verde" che sta guidando l'economia e la crescita mondiale. SCITEC sta lavorando allo studio e implementazione di materiali organici e ibridi e di tecnologie intelligenti rilevanti nel campo delle energie rinnovabili, dell'efficienza energetica e della conversione, cattura e accumulo dell'energia.
Le competenze interdisciplinari presenti in SCITEC operano sinergicamente nel modeling, sviluppo e caratterizzazione di materiali e processi innovativi, e nel perseguire la fabbricazione e validazione di prototipi di dispositivi.

High-tech devices including computer, laptop, tablet, smartphone, and many small devices such as smartwatch, medical components and dense dynamic random access memories (DRAM) require complex integrated circuits (IC) transistors. Nanoscale patterning is, to date, mostly...
Understanding and controlling defect photophysics for stable and efficient lead-free perovskite solar cells
Among candidates possibly replacing lead in perovskites solar cells, only tin halide perovskites (THP) have shown significant device efficiencies. Enabling successful application of such materials still requires critical improvements of efficiencies and stability. Two of the main challenges to be overcome are...
