Description

HMU-RC was established in 2019, aiming to create a one-stop research facility housing all the HMU scientific and technological disciplines through six research Institutes. HMU-RC’s mission is to perform forefront research and, to promote innovation and competitiveness for the benefit of society.

i-EMERGE of HMU-RC is a multidisciplinary research institution focusing on frontier science and technology of cutting-edge materials and production processes with the potential to enable sustainable technologies to enhance citizens quality of life with economic benefits. There are currently three research divisions, namely Nanotechnology and Printed Electronics, 3D-Printing and Additive Manufacturing and 5G and Internet of Things applications, each of critical mass, which embrace the full spectrum from fundamental science to applied engineering. i-EMERGE leads the Energy Generation activities of the FET- Graphene Flagship initiative, while also participating in the newly established European Research Infrastructure “Emerging Printed Electronics and Photonics”, EMERGE, the European Perovskite Initiative and in the Advanced Technology Higher Education Network (ATHENA).  The Nanotechnology Division (Nano@HMU) of the Institute is working at the frontiers of nanoscience and solution-processed advanced materials towards the industrialisation of emerging printed electronics and energy harvesting and storage devices. i-EMERGE is renowned for its achievements on interfacial engineering of emerging solar cells, such as perovskite and organic, for improved performance and stability, and on evaluating their performance in IEC certification tests at outdoor conditions and by using accelerated aging International Summit on Organic Photovoltaic Stability (ISOS) protocols.
