Abstract
Together with colleagues at Northumbria University, Newcastle upon Tyne, we focus on developing novel inorganic solar cell technologies. In particular, we have made recent progress with two very different technologies: high performance InAs/GaAs quantum dot solar cells for concentrating photovoltaics and solution processed Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4 nanoparticle inks. The former is a collaboration with the Cavendish Laboratory (SP Group), NPL and Nanyang Technological University while the latter is a core component of our involvement in the EPSRC -funded North East Centre for Energy Materials. In this talk, I will provide an overview of the technologies, scientific challenges and our contribution to their development.
Series This talk is part of the Semiconductor Physics Group Seminars series.
