Perovskite-based Multijunction Solar Cells Group

The group's research is centred around bridging chemistry, physics, and materials engineering disciplines to advance perovskite multi-junction solar cells. Our work is organised into three main thrusts:

1. Materials Innovation: This thrust focuses on developing new materials to enhance device functionality. We are particularly interested in wide-bandgap perovskite absorbers, interfacial materials, flexible electrodes, self-assembled monolayers, and metal oxides that can efficiently convert solar energy into electricity.
2. New Device Structures and Assembly Processes: Here, we explore innovative methods to manipulate, process and assemble materials, aiming to create unique optical and electrical properties. Our objective is to establish reproducible, cost-effective and rapid processing techniques suitable for large-scale production in the solar industry.
3. Tandem Solar Cells: Building upon the knowledge gained from the previous thrusts, we concentrate on developing reliable, efficient and affordable perovskite-based tandem solar cells. To maximise solar energy harvesting, we are working on different tandem architectures, new recombination junctions, electrical contacts, transparent conductive oxides (TCOs), passivation layers, and encapsulants for dual- and triple-junction tandem solar cells.

Through these research endeavours, we aim to contribute to the advancement of sustainable and accessible energy generation solutions.
