Perovskites could change the future of solar energy. Aleš Vlk, who studies them, has won the Otto Wichterle Award
Abstract
Every year, the Czech Academy of Sciences gives out the Otto Wichterle Award. It goes to exceptional scientists under 35 who achieve top results at the very start of their careers. This year’s laureate from the Institute of Physics of the CAS is Aleš Vlk, who has been focusing on halide perovskites since 2018, materials with the potential to fundamentally improve the efficiency of harvesting energy from the sun.
