Dr. Guijarro’s use of novel overlayers of n-type CdSe or ZnSe on p-type CZTS along with a methylviologen as a surface treatment gave new insights into interfacial charge extraction for this promising photoelectrochemical energy conversion system. The full details can be found in J. Phys. Chem. Lett.

Xiaoyun Yu’s method using alkyl-trichlorosilane surfactants to prevent the restacking of 2D MoS2 layers and create stable dispersions was used to demonstrate homogeneous thin film formation and highly active large-area semiconductor devices. A full description is published in the ACS journal Chemistry of Materials.

At the 2011 EPFL Magistrale The “Fondation Zeno Karl Schindler”, a charitable organisation established in 2005 by Jacqueline Schindler, presented the “Zeno Karl Schindler/EPFL” Prize. The award was presented to Dr. Kevin Sivula for his outstanding research on the use of mesoscopic oxides for the direct generation of hydrogen from water by sunlight. More information
