20 Ene Prof. Edgardo Saucedo has attended and participated in the 2024 MRS Fall Meeting in Boston

Prof. Edgardo Saucedo has participated with an oral presentation in the 2024 MRS Fall Meeting in Boston (Massachusetts, USA). His talk presented new results on kesterite solar cells for indoor photovoltaics, indicating the importance of developing efficient wide bandgap kesterite, specifically tailored for indoor-PV applications. The indoor performance of wide bandgap kesterite has been studied, revealing an excellent performance of over 13% efficiency under simulated IPV conditions. Furthermore, novel strategies were discussed in order to prevent interface recombination and further improve the performance of IPV kesterite.

Kesterites (Cu₂ZnSnSe₄) are earth-abundant, low-toxic and highly efficient chalcogenide-based materials. Recently, interest on their potential for advanced applications such as Indoor-PV has been greatly boosted, pointing towards new opportunities for the wider chalcogenide family.
