Leading simulation and measurement tool provider Fluxim and Perovskite-Info have teamed up to offer a 20% discount on Fluxim's large-area PV simulation software LAOSS.

LAOSS is a software tool that simulates large area semiconductor devices (PV and OLED), taking into account the voltage drop in the electrodes due to important resistive effects when the size of the device increases. LAOSS facilitates electrode layout optimization and material choice, which can save substantial time and resources. Any material class of PV devices can be modeled in a few clicks, from emerging technologies like perovskite and OPV to established Si or thin film technology.

On May 10-11, IdTechEx will host its annual Printed Electronics Europe event that will focus on the commercialization of printed, organic and flexible electronics. The Perovskite-Info team will visit this event, so if anyone wishes to schedule a meeting - now is a great time to do so!

This event (which according to IdTechEx is the largest event of its kind) includes a conference, an exhibition, a demonstration street showing a full range of interactive products and prototypes, an end-user forum, master classes and IdTechEx's early-stage Launchpad.

2016 is soon over - and it was another exciting year for the perovskite industry. Researchers continue to innovate and develop more efficient solar panels, and it seems that commercialization of perovskite solar panels is approaching.

Dr. Lioz Etgar obtained his Ph.D. at the Technion'Israel Institute of Technology, and completed his post-doctoral research with Prof. Michael Grätzel at EPFL, Switzerland. Dr. Etgar was the first to demonstrate the possibility to work with the perovskite as light harvester and hole conductor in the solar cell which result in one of the pioneer publication in this field.

Dr. Etgar is now leading the Perovskite solar lab in the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, Israel. Etgar's research group focuses on the development of innovative solar cells. Etgar is searching for new excitonic solar cells architectures while designing and controlling the inorganic light harvester structure and properties to improve the photovoltaic parameters. Etgar was kind enough to answer a few questions we had for him.

Perovskites that are direct-bandgap semiconductors could be real alternatives to current materials used in LEDs - for applications such as displays and lighting. Perovskite could lead the way towards easy-to-produce, affordable and efficient LED devices. Read out new article Perovskite for LEDs to find out more!
