REMAP - Reusable mask patterning
Theme Microfabrication, Photovoltaics, ElectrochemistryREMAP aims to revolutionise microfabrication through the concept of reusable masking.Leading scientist Diego ColombaraRole within the project Project CoordinatorDuration 2022 - 2026Total funding 3925044 €SHERPA - Self-healing screen-printed perovskite photovoltaics beyond Shockley–Queisser Limit
Theme Photovoltaics, MicrofabricationSHERPA aims at overcoming the instability of metal-halide perovskites by adopting a microconcentrator PV architecture. While doing so, it reduces the Pb content to near zero and pushes theoretical efficiency above Shockley–Queisser limit.Leading scientist Shiva NavazaniRole within the project Head of unitDuration 2022 - 2026Total funding 188590 €TRANSMIT - Semi-transparent micro-striped thin-film photovoltaics for energy-harvesting windows
Theme MicrofabricationTRANSMIT aims to develop a semi-transparent photovoltaic technology with a high average visual transparency, and power conversion efficiency, based on spatial segmentation of thin-film Cu(In,Ga)Se2 (CIGS) and Perovskite solar cells.Leading scientist Diego ColombaraRole within the project Head of unitDuration 2023 - 2026Total funding 300000 €e-APP - Empowering advanced photovoltaic pioneers
Theme Photovoltaics, Microfabricatione-APP is 1 of 18 projects funded nationwide to enhance bilateral IT-USA cooperation in strategic R&D. It converges the University of Genova and Drexel University on developing a high-throughput micropatterning technique based on fixed designs.Leading scientist Diego ColombaraRole within the project Project CoordinatorDuration 2023 - 2025Total funding 195000 €
