Project description: |
Metal halide perovskite solar cells, lauded for their high efficiency, confront a critical challenge: their most effective absorbers contain toxic lead. While tin halide perovskites offer a safer alternative, their widespread adoption is hindered by low efficiency and stability issues, compounded by difficulties in large-scale manufacturing. In this context, the EU-funded SMARTLINE-PV project aims to advance lead-free tin halide perovskites. Through innovative plasma-assisted crystallisation, the project aims to enhance efficiency and stability, crucial for large-scale production. Tailored interlayers and flexible device concepts further optimise performance. Anticipated efficiencies of 25 % will revolutionise the photovoltaics industry, lowering energy consumption and costs. With a focus on eco-design and circularity, SMARTLINE-PV aims to boost Europe’s photovoltaics sector, especially in building-integrated applications. |

Project description: |
Traditional motors and engines are complex multicomponent devices difficult to fabricate and recycle. Moreover, they are heavy and big with reduced energy-efficiency. This limits the performance of mechanical systems powered by them. To solve this, there is a need for a new kind of actuator that efficiently generates mechanical motion and energy. The EU-funded BiCeps project aims to meet this challenge by engineering and fabricating robust actuators that can mimic strength, precision, speed, compliance and reliability of natural muscle movement. Using advanced 3D printing techniques, BiCeps combines strong materials that contract when triggered, much like real muscles, to build powerful actuators. This technology could replace traditional motors and engines in many industries, offering greater flexibility and efficiency. |

The project focuses on establishing conditions for the safe use of green structural steels without the need to use critical strategic elements. This research focuses on the use of steels from medium strength (S355) to ultra-high strength steels (S960) in European infrastructure. A key aspect is to ensure the reliability of welded joints, especially the heat affected zone (HAZ). One of the key objectives of the project is to develop new environmentally friendly steel alloys made with a higher proportion of recycled material. This poses challenges in welding and mechanical properties, especially in welds where the increased presence of residual elements (e.g. Cu, Ni, Cr) can affect the strength and toughness of the material. The project uses advanced tools such as machine learning and numerical simulations to accurately control microstructure and predict material behaviour during processing. |
