SUMMARY:Emerging solar cell technologies: a microscopist's view - Giorgio 
 Divitini\, Department of Materials Science and Metallurgy

DESCRIPTION:In the last few years solar photovoltaics have grown at a very
  fast pace\, now representing a significant contribution to the overall el
 ectricity generation mix in several countries. Although most of the instal
 led panels are still silicon-based\, alternative technologies have become 
 commercially competitive and show promise for the near future. In this tal
 k I'll focus on dye-sensitised and perovskite solar cells\, which recently
  reached 20% power conversion efficiency\, highlighting current limits and
  interesting scientific and engineering issues. In particular\, I'll give 
 some examples on how electron microscopy can be used to tackle some of the
 se issues.
