Third Generation Photovoltaics (3GP)
Prof. Richards leads the Nanophotonics for Energy (N4E) department within the IMT, together with Prof. Ulrich Lemmer. Our department focuses on expanding the future horizons of light-based energy conversion reactions by developing the ability to control and engineer the behaviour of light on the nanoscale. Research efforts span the spectrum from developing fundamental understanding to applying this in real-world devices with a team that combines backgrounds in physics, engineering, chemistry and materials science. The department is comprised of the research groups lead by:
- Prof. Dr. Bryce S. Richards - Third Generation Photovoltaics
- Dr. Gan Huang - Hybrid Solar Techniologies
- Dr. Damien Hudry – Luminescent Nanocrystals
- Dr. Andrey Turshatov – Materials for Spectral Conversion
KIT researchers developed a new method to remove the micropollutants by means of a photocatalytic membrane and visible light (Photo: Markus Breig, KIT).
