Job Description
Thesis Subject
This PhD project is part of the BioFlexPV (https://www.pepr-tase.fr/projet/bioflexpv/) project which aims at developing novel efficient encapsulation solutions from bio-based resources to reduce the environmental footprint of the different PV technologies. With a combination of polymers derived from the biomass and of inorganic dense layers from abundant resources, we aim at fabricating encapsulation films with high gas barrier properties. These novel encapsulation materials will be integrated in PV modules from different technologies (c-Si, CIGS, perovskite, organic). Combining this approach with life cycle assessment methodology, the main goal of the project is to develop encapsulation strategies with low environmental impact.
Your Work Environment
The student will be part of two laboratories: the LCPO (laboratory of organic polymer chemistry) and the IMS laboratory (Laboratory for the Integration from Material to System). At LCPO, the candidate will be part of team 2 and at IMS, the candidate will work in the ORGANIC group. Both teams are in very close proximity since they are both located inside the ENSMAC graduate school (16 avenue Pey Berland, 33607 PESSAC, France).
Constraints and risks
The candidate should hold a master degree and have a hybrid profile with competences in materials science, chemistry and preferably knowledge in device physics and electronics. The candidate will deal with (bio)polymer synthesis and characterization, as well as photovoltaic device fabrication and characterization. The candidate needs to be an experimentalist ready to explore various fabrication and characterization techniques and work in two different environments (a chemistry laboratory and an electronic laboratory).
