“In our Energy Harvesting Research Group, we have started using both PAIOS and SETFOS for the characterization of perovskite solar cells very recently. We find both tools very helpful in understanding the device physics of perovskite solar cells and different kinds of charge carrier losses through recombination. The multitude of characterization facilities such as light intensity-dependent J-V, Capacitance-Voltage measurement, transient photovoltaic and transient photocurrent, impedance measurement and charge transport characterization such as SCLC and CELIV all integrated into one set-up is so versatile to give an overview of different loss mechanisms and strength of one device structure over the other. Our research is particularly focussing on indoor photovoltaic development where the carrier management is stringent due to the low intensity and low carrier concentration. We have found PAIOS an excellent supportive tool to enhance our research.”

“Paios and Setfos have been an asset to our research capability in CSIRO Energy and a key tool in our research and assessment of next generation thin-film photovoltaics, in particular, organic and perovskite solar cells. One of the key points of differentiation – and a clear attraction – has been the flexibility of the system and the ease in which user-defined experiments can be created. Our Team has appreciated the interaction with Fluxim and realised this has been much more than a transactional experience – we’ve formed a real partnership between developers and researchers.”

“I recently started using Paios. I have done some measurements for eg Photo CELIV, Charge extraction etc. Indeed, I need to work on analysis part. Results are promising. Hope soon we will publish some results. I am happy with PAIOS instrument. 😊.”

“The automated measurement platform Paios allows one to perform a series of measurements on organic solar cells within a matter of minutes, which otherwise would have taken days.”

“We successfully characterized the transient response of silicon-based solar cells with the Paios measurement system. For instance, we were able to determine the electron mobility and photo-carrier lifetime.”

“As an OLED researcher, I am very thankful for the Fluxim tools we have in our Group at ZHAW. Thanks to Paios and Phelos I can characterize my OLEDs in various regimes, such as transient, frequency, or steady-state and angle-dependent, and this all by just a few clicks. Thanks to the simulation software Setfos I can set up an electro-optical device model to reproduce the experimental data, which helps me to understand better the physics inside the OLED. Knowing the emission zone or the charge carrier distribution of an OLED can give you hints on efficiency or lifetime improvements.”

"We have Fluxim's Paios equipment installed in our lab, and it has been extremely useful across many of our research projects. Paios has provided us with valuable insights into charge carrier mechanisms within perovskite solar cells and LEDs. Its advanced capabilities have helped us better understand how these devices function and how to optimize their performance. It’s a powerful and reliable tool that plays a central role in our characterization workflows."

“Paios was essential in validating our unified analytical framework for charge transport and hysteresis in perovskite solar cells. In particular, the Sinus-J-V function allowed us to probe the transition from a capacitive to an inductive-like response across frequencies. The versatility of Paios enabled us to combine small- and large-signal characterizations within a single experimental workflow.”

We have been using PAIOS for more than 3 years and benefitted tremendously from the extensive range of capabilities provided by the tool. The ability to truly have an all-in-one semiconductor analysis platform allows for all the desired measurements of a photovoltaic device (I-V, transient response, impedance, and temperature-induced activation energies are a few examples) in an automated fashion. We have also leveraged the usage of SETFOS to better understand the underlying physics of the phenomena we are measuring, and I would like to specifically call out the excellent technical support provided by Fluxim. They help us not just with troubleshooting but also with analysis and interpretation of our results
