LinXole AB was established in 2021 in Linköping, Sweden, initiated from Linköping University.

Our mission

Our mission is to improve the stability of third-generation photovoltaic cells. Solar energy is a direct tie to the UN Global Goal 7 (Affordable and clean energy). Perovskite and organic solar cells are expected to introduce affordable, flexible solar cells and enable innovative solutions such as vehicles and building-integrated solar cells where it was previously hardly possible. This ties into Global Goal 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure). The key challenge to these emerging photovoltaic technologies is their inferior stability, and LinXoles mission is to solve this challenge.

Opportunities

LinXole AB specializes in innovative materials designed for next-generation solar cell technologies, offering enhanced device lifetime and performance. These advanced solar technologies provide lightweight and flexible properties, enabling applications where traditional silicon-based solar cells fall short—such as building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) and electric vehicles (EVs).  

Perovskite solar cells are the most promising candidate to be used in combination with traditional solar cells, which enables higher efficiency beyond existing solar cell alternatives on the market today. The need for more and high efficient renewable energy sources is now, join LinXole and let us solve this need together. We are looking for individuals with a passion for materials science and device fabrication to contribute to cutting-edge solar cell technology. We are offering summer internships, part-time roles, and master's thesis positions as Materials or Device Developers.

Requirements:

  • Background in organic synthesis or device fabrication

  • Hands-on experience in a laboratory setting (academic experience accepted)

  • A curious and explorative mindset

  • Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate within cross-functional teams

  • Proficiency in English
