Optimising the Mobility of Nanoporous Oxides

该项目旨在开发实用的策略，通过减少表面和界面上的电荷捕获来提高纳米多孔金属氧化物膜的迁移率。它将第一性原理理论建模与结构、光谱和光物理材料表征相结合，以便在原子水平上理解电荷捕获，并指导材料修饰策略以提高迁移率。透射电子显微镜的模拟将便于与实验进行比较。与我们的工业合作伙伴（水晶和DyeSol）密切合作，我们将在钙钛矿太阳能电池设备中加入优化的纳米孔膜，以证明效率的提高。

The project aims to develop practical strategies to improve the mobility of nanoporous metal oxide films by reducing charge trapping at surface and interfaces. It will combine first principles theoretical modelling with structural, spectroscopic and photophysical materials characterisation, in order to understand charge trapping at an atomistic level and guide material modification strategies to improve mobility. Simulation of transmission electron microscopy will facilitate comparison with experiment. Working closely with our industrial partners (Cristal and DyeSol) we will incorporate optimised nanoporous films in perovskite solar cell devices to demonstrate an improvement in efficiency.
