研究领域

The groups’ focus is Molecular Engineering of Functional Materials for Photovolatic and Light emitting applications. In the field of molecular-based photovoltaic devices, dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) have reached an efficiency of over 13%. This efficiency level, coupled with the use of inexpensive materials and processing has stimulated momentum to industrialize this technology. In these cells, the sensitizer, located at the junction between electron and hole transporting phases, absorbs sunlight and injects an electron and a hole into the n- and p-type materials, respectively. The former is an inorganic n-type wide bandgap oxide semiconductor (typically TiO2 anatase) and the latter is a liquid electrolyte or p-type hole transporter. The generated free charge carriers, travel through the nanostructured oxide to be collected as current at the external contacts. The significant advantage of DSCs is that they achieve the separation of light harvesting, and charge carrier transport, thus the maximum power point is virtually independent of light level therefore useful in all climate conditions. The general losses in dye-sensitized solar cells are due to the lack of sensitizer absorption in the near IR region, and the loss-in-potential from the optical band gap to the open-circuit voltage. The goal of the group is to engineer at molecular level novel panchromatic sensitizers and functionalized hole-transporting materials to achieve power conversion efficiency over 18%. Recently organohalide lead perovskites have revolutionised the scenario of emerging photovoltaic (PV) technologies, with recently certified efficiency of 20.1% based on a perovskite solar cell. Such high efficiency is largely due to panchromatic absorption (down to ca. 800 nm), high absorption coefficient (1.4*104 cm-1 at 550 nm), low exciton binding energy (25 meV in MAPbI3), large mobility (66 cm2/Vs for MAPbI3), ambipolar charge transport, and large electron and hole diffusion lengths (175 um). The group is aiming to enhance power conversion efficiency of perovskite solar cells beyond 20%, and stability using functionalized electron and hole transporting materials. Our approach unfolds in three strategies: i) Interface engineering of new electron transporting materials; ii) Design and develop molecularly engineered novel family of large band gap hole transporting materials; and iii) Optimize the perovskite deposition techniques. The perovskite solar cell technology has been already proven to be remarkably efficient and has scope to compete with the very best crystalline semiconductor and thin film photovoltaic systems while offering the very lowest potential cost for materials and solution processed manufacturing. The groups’ ambitious goal of reaching power conversion efficiency 23% under 100 mW cm−2 will be realized by developing novel materials.
