We proudly present the newest PhD thesis:

Electrochemical Nanofabrication for More Sustainable Photovoltaics

Yorick Bleiji

We fabricate silver nanowire grids using selective area electrodeposition for the usage as transparent electrodes for photovoltaic applications.

We aim to replace traditional ITO layers with silver nanowire grids.
