Final video interview – Coordinator Quentin Jeangros

Quentin Jeangros coordinated the European project PeroCUBE, an acronym that stands for High-Performance Large Area Organic Perovskite devices for lighting, energy and Pervasive Communications.
He is also the Group Leader at CSEM, the Swiss Center for Electronics and Microtechnology and I oversee the group working on perovskite materials and devices.

Below is a statement from him about the European project:

“PeroCUBE had the objective to advance technologies based on metal halide perovskite semiconductors, a class of low-cost yet high-quality materials. The use of this class of materials opens new perspectives for lightweight optoelectronic technologies, including for photovoltaic (PV) and light-emitting diode (LED) and visible light communication.
Overall, the project met its objectives of advancing metal halide perovskite semiconductors by demonstrating: (i) perovskite compositions leading to high PV and LED performance, (ii) hermetic encapsulation methods for both rigid and flexible devices to demonstrate reliable devices, iii) scalable fabrication methods that can be implemented industrially, and (iv) perovskite prototypes for indoor positioning making use of visible light communication. In addition, we investigated in detail the sustainability of these perovskite technologies.
A number of trade secrets and patentable results could be generated during the project. Concerning dissemination, more than 40 manuscripts were published in scientific journals and more than 60 presentations were given at conferences, workshops and fairs, highlighting the high quality of the results obtained during the project.
I would like to thank all the partners involved for making this project a successful adventure”.
