NWO Vidi grant for Loredana Protesescu

Creating efficient, affordable, and durable materials for energy technologies is a challenge. Traditional methods require complex layers of different materials, which can be costly and limit device performance. To simplify this, I aim to develop a one-step process using smart inks that react to pH, temperature, or pressure to create multilayered, stable thin films. The ink will contain perovskite chalcogenide nanomaterials, which combine the benefits of traditional perovskites with enhanced resistance to heat, moisture, UV exposure. This process will streamline production, improve device efficiency, reduce energy use, and make them more durable—ultimately advancing energy technologies for a sustainable future.
