Description of main research theme:
Thin-film solar cells are the most rapidly advancing branch within photovoltaic technology, serving to directly convert sunlight into electrical energy. Despite their numerous advantages, there remains a concerted effort to enhance both the performance and durability of these devices, while also streamlining their large-scale production. These challenges encompass the exploration of novel materials, device architecture refinement, and optimization of current manufacturing processes.
The primary aim of this project is to synthesize various classes of light-absorbing materials tailored for photovoltaic applications, employing diverse material deposition techniques. Subsequently, these materials will undergo comprehensive characterization, followed by their integration into thin-film solar cell devices. We seek a motivated student to contribute to advancing this research initiative within our department. Overcoming several hurdles is crucial to realizing further enhancements in both the efficiency and longevity of solar cell devices fabricated from diverse material substrates.
