One-year overview of the H2020 European project DROP-IT
DROP-IT is a 3years H2020 European project starting in November 2019. DROP-IT "DRop-on demand flexible Optoelectronics & Photovoltaics by means of Lead-Free halide perovskITes". FOTON Institute - INSA Rennes and ISCR are part of the DROP-IT consortium (8 European partners). DROP-IT will combine optoelectronics and photonics in a single flexible drop-on demand inkjet technology platform by means of exploiting the enormous potential of lead-free perovskite materials. FOTON Institute – INSA Rennes will be in charge of the simulation task of the project. The first year has been mainly focusing on 2 tasks i) the state-of-art bibliography and analysis of the lead-free materials for solar cells, leds,photocatalysts, and then ii) the exploration of new lead-free materials by Density Functional Theory.
