Four excellent students design unique sustainability research

Making solar cells more efficient, and developing sustainable insecticides with a zombie-making fungus: as of September, a second group of PhD candidates will start their research funded by the Science for Sustainability community at Utrecht University. The projects, which they designed themselves, will address societal challenges in the field of sustainability from an interdisciplinary perspective. The first group of PhD candidates started precisely one year ago. Read more about the new research projects below. Making solar cells more efficient. Solar cells and other devices that convert light into electricity are not very efficient. This stands in the way of large-scale applicability.
