Juan Bisquert

He was born in Düsseldorf, 1962), grew up in Dénia, BSc in physics 1985 at Universitat de València and PHD 1992 at Universitat de València. Since 1992 he has been employed at Universitat Jaume I, Castellón.

Education

He is BSc in physics 1985 at Universitat de València and PHD 1992 at Universitat de València.

Teaching activity

He worked at Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha from 1987 to 1992.

Since 1992 he Works at Universitat Jaume I, in Castellón, where he is a full profesor of Applid Physics (2004).

Research activity and awards

At Universitat Jaume I he is the funding director of INAM (Institute of Advanced Materials), that devlops research on materials, nanostructures and devices for the production of clean energy (current research activity).

He published 350 papers in scientific journals (publications).

He has cited more tan 20,000 times in scientific journals.

In 2014, 2015 y 2016 he appeared in the list “ISI Highly Cited Researchers”, that identifies 3000 authors in 21 main fields of science and the social science ranking among the top 1% most cited for their subject field, featuring authors whose published work in their specialty areas has consistently been judged by peers to be of particular significance and utility.

He wrote the book “Nanostructured Energy Devices-Equilibrium Concepts and Kinetics” . He edited the monography Photoelectrochemical Solar Fuel Production: From Basic Principles to Advanced Devices”, Ed. Sixto Giménez y Juan Bisquert.

He is a Senior Editor of the “Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters” and member of Advisory Board of:

  • “Energy and Environmental Science”
  • Sustainable Energy and Fuels
  • “ChemElectroChem”
  • “South Korean Journal of Electrochemical Science and Technology”

Since 2008 he is the president of the Society for Nanomolecular Photovoltaics (SEFIN). Since 2016 he is president of Fundació Scito. He created nanoGe conferences.

He did the work of the doctoral thesis in the field of mathematical physics, on problems of algebraic quantization. His research work takes place in a multidisciplinary area that covers hybrid and organic nanotechnology solar cells as well as other functional devices of advanced materials, including perovskite solar cells and the production of semiconductor fuel from sunlight. Bisquert has developed the application of measurement techniques and physical modeling that relate the operation of the photovoltaic devices to the elementary electronic stages that take place in the nanoscale dimension. For example, one of the main contributions of Professor J. Bisquert has been to define and demonstrate the relevance of the concept of Chemical Capacitance in nanostructured semiconductor devices, especially solar cells and photovoltaic devices.
