Equilibrium phases diagram including all known phases

Kesterites are complex materials that are commonly synthesized under non-stoichiometric and out-of-equilibrium conditions, implying that secondary phases are prone to occur. In this deliverable and using Density Functional Theory (termed “ab initio thermodynamics” in the research community), and the corresponding database of Gibbs free energies, the phase stability of kesterites as a function of temperature and partial pressures will be compared with additional competing solid phases (e.g. Cu-Sn and Cu-Zn ternary phases) and gases (oxygen, hydrogen and water), to provide quantitative insights into phase stability and separation, as well as optimal processing windows. ICL will contribute to this deliverable.

STARCELL Gender Equality Action Plan

Gender issues are very relevant in STARCELL, and in this deliverable all the required actions to promote the carrier of woman in Science and Technology will be described. Actions will be described in the frame of the consortium, but also presenting available data of the different partners of STARCELL. IREC will contribute to this deliverable with the inputs of the consortium.

Websites, patent fillings, videos etc. (1)

Project website

The project website will be presented in this WP, with the detail of all the information available in the webpage created for STARCELL. IREC will contribute to this deliverable.
