Profile

Emanuele Calabrò was born on 8th August of 1987 in Rome. He obtained his MSc in “Material Science and Technology” at Tor Vergata University in 2015, with a thesis based on the application of Bragg Gratings applied for Perovskite Solar Cells (PSCs) and Dye Sensitized Solar Cells (DSSCs). He performed his PhD in “Electronic Engineering” under the supervision of Prof. Aldo Di Carlo. His topic was the optimization and scaling-up of Low-T based planar Perovskite Solar Cells and Modules followed by the stability analysis of the as fabricated devices. Currently is a Postdoctoral Fellow at C.H.O.S.E. labs under the supervision of Prof. Andrea Reale.

Research Activity

The research activity of Emanuele Calabrò was based on the development and optimization of highly efficient hybrid-organic perovskite solar cells and modules (PSCs & PSMs) based on a low-T approach. The results obtained due the incorporation of a SnO2 layer as ETL led the achievement of high performances. The easy scale-up of the planar structure, coupled with an optimized selective laser system ablation, permitted the fabrication of PSMs up to 50 cm2 with high aspect and ratio high-performance. Furthermore, the perovskite doping with innovative materials permits to increase the stability of the photovoltaic devices under thermal stress. His research is currently focused on the "COPPER" Project funded by the Lazio and Lazio Innova Region. The aim of the project is the evaluation of the impact of semitransparent organic PV with tunable colors applied to agrivoltaic systems and how it affects the growing plants.

IMPORTANCE OF FERROELECTRIC DOMAINS

importance of ferroelectric domains for the performance of perovskite solar cells

On the importance of ferroelectric domains for the performance of perovskite solar cells

The effect of ferroelectric polarization patterns in MAPbI3 on JV characteristics has been analyzed. We discuss models for the polarization orientation pattern and magnitude of the ferroelectric domains. Simulations performed on real patterns show that the presence of ordered ferroelectric domains, even with a weak characteristic polarization magnitude enhances the power conversion efficiencies and are mandatory to reproduce the experimental J-V characteristics.

Photoelectrochemical and spectrophotometric studies on dye-sensitized solar cells (dscs) and stable modules (dscms) based on natural apocarotenoids pigments

We present a study on dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) and we fabricate dye-sensitized solar modules (DSCMs) based on natural apocarotenoids extracted from the achiote's seeds (annatto). Use of less polar solvent such as diethyl ether improves the bixin concentration in the annatto extract which, was employed as sensitizer in the devices.
