PLN 10.5 Million for Young Researchers' Projects in the SONATA Program

Dr. Eng. Damian Głowienka from the Faculty of Technical Physics and Applied Mathematics, a member of the Young Researchers Team at Gdańsk University of Technology, is among six young researchers from Gdańsk Tech awarded in the prestigious SONATA 20 program of the National Science Centre. He received funding of PLN 2,380,220 for the implementation of his research project.

His research focuses on the development of innovative three-terminal solar cells based on tandem perovskite structures—advanced materials with immense potential in modern photovoltaics. Unlike commonly used two-terminal designs, the 3T architecture allows for independent control and optimization of each cell layer. This opens new possibilities both for improving energy conversion efficiency and for studying the durability of such devices.

The project involves testing the cells under accelerated aging conditions—exposure to intense light, elevated humidity, and temperature—which will help identify the key factors affecting their stability. The goal is to develop highly efficient and long-lasting solutions for future renewable energy systems.
