The research group "Silicon and Novel Concepts for Solar Cells" is looking for a candidate willing to follow the PhD to contribute to the development of a novel kind of thermal energy storage system that use molten metals and thermophotovoltaic devices for the direct conversion of heat into electricity. The PhD project will be aligned to a European Project called "Next GenerAtion MateriAls and Solid State DevicEs for Ultra High Temperature Energy Storage and Conversion" (AMADEUS) that will start in January 2017. Special focus will be made on the development and characterization of thermophotovoltaic cells along with the realization of proof of concept experiments of the complete thermal storage unit.
