The development of portable energy harvesting power sources as an alternative to batteries is an attractive prospect that will permit a new class of renewable energy devices that can operate indefinitely. We have identified a class of nanoscale perovskite materials that are ideal for device integration due to their unique properties that lead to enhanced functionality. Less is however known about the physical mechanism responsible for the enhancement and role of surface and interfacial effects within the composite device structure.This project will focus on materials simulation with our state-of-the-art High PerformanceComputing (HPC) systems (Iridis) and device fabrication using the state-of-the-art facilities within the Southampton Nanofabrication Centre (Zepler Institute). optimal nanowire integration into a device setting and (2) fabrication of more exotic nanowires such as BaTiO. Both aspects will be explored on the project. We also want to explore mechanical durability and flexibility, charge extraction efficiency, compatibility with various substrates and failure tolerance when loaded or heated.

开发便携式能量收集电源作为电池的替代品是一个有吸引力的前景，它将允许一种新型的可再生能源设备无限期地运行。我们已经确定了一类纳米级钙钛矿材料，由于其独特的特性，可以增强功能，因此是设备集成的理想选择。然而，对于复合器件结构中表面和界面效应的增强和作用的物理机制知之甚少。该项目将专注于使用我们最先进的高性能计算（HPC）系统（iritis）进行材料模拟，并使用南安普顿纳米制造中心（Zepler研究所）内最先进的设施进行设备制造。最佳的纳米线集成到器件设置和(2)制造更奇特的纳米线，如BaTiO。这两个方面都将在项目中进行探讨。我们还想探索机械耐久性和灵活性，电荷提取效率，与各种基板的兼容性以及加载或加热时的故障容忍度。
