Bio-inspired electrodes for energy transport applications in renewable energy devices

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

The aim of my project is to produce bio-inspired structures which function as electrical contacts. Integration of multiscale feature structures as contacts will ideally follow the same characteristics as leaf-venation patterns; providing optimal coverage for electron transport while producing as little optical shading as possible. This project will investigate the potential for feature scalability, repeatability and overall shape flexibility. The goal application for these bio-inspired structures is as solar cell top contacts, meaning that the fabricated contacts will be compared to existing solar cell top contacts for conductivity and optical transparency.
