معرفی
Jorge Simancas is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Institute of Advanced Materials (INAM) of Jaume I University, Spain, where he works in the Group of Advanced Semiconductors (GAS) led by Prof. Mora-Seró. Previously, from 2020 to May 2023, he served as a technician and innovation agent at INAM. His research focuses on materials science for renewable energy applications, particularly stability and efficiency enhancement in perovskite-based optoelectronic devices including solar cells and light-emitting diodes.
Education:
- PhD in Green Chemistry, Universitat Politècnica de València, 2021 (Thesis: Synthesis of zeolites using phosphorous Organic Structures Directing Agents under Prof. Fernando Rey)
- Bachelor of Science in Chemistry, Universidad Complutense de Madrid, 2011
Dr. Simancas' research centers on addressing critical stability challenges in next-generation optoelectronic materials. His expertise spans zeolite synthesis and advanced perovskite engineering, with significant contributions to tin halide perovskite solar cell technology through interfacial modification strategies. Current investigations include vitamin-based additives for stable perovskite inks and 3D-printed composites, alongside contact engineering for light-emitting diodes using self-assembled monolayers.
Analysis of his 2023-2025 publications reveals a cohesive research trajectory focused on operational stability enhancement across multiple perovskite device platforms. His work demonstrates systematic innovation in interlayer design (fluorinated fullerenes), contact engineering (benzoxazole SAMs), and additive strategies (organic molecules, vitamins) to mitigate degradation mechanisms in ambient conditions while minimizing performance losses.
