The project has been funded by a Marie Curie Career Integration Grant, running from 03/14 to 02/18. In it I explored the development of low-cost and scalable chemical methods, namely, chemical vapor deposition (CVD), atmospheric spatial atomic layer deposition (SALD), and hydrothermal reactions, for the synthesis and fundamental study of novel functional materials based on earth-abundant elements, for application in advanced electronic and optoelectronic devices. Of special interest is the synthesis and optimisation of known and new Cu-based materials. A third axis deals with the development of improved device architectures in order to improve the efficiency of solar cells.
