1. Fully Funded PhD Position in Nanostructure and stability of perovskite solar cells
Summary of PhD Program:
Perovskite-structured compounds were first used in solar cells in 2012 and have seen rapid increases in efficiencies to over 25%, already higher than most competing technologies. The major obstacle of perovskites is their long-term instability in the presence of heat and moisture. This must be understood and overcome before devices can be commercialised. It has been found that incorporating additives, such as ionic liquids, into perovskites leads to improved stability and cell efficiencies.
This project aims to study the nanostructure and chemistry of perovskite/additive films and how it links to stability and efficiency of devices. The project is in collaboration with a large glass manufacturing organisation. A range of deposition methods and analysis techniques will be used to study the films and to build prototype devices. Film characterisation techniques will include X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) and X-ray Diffraction (XRD).
Application Deadline: 18 September 2024
