Structure-Activity Relationships in Silicon-based Photovoltaics Through Atomic Scale Microscopy

本项目旨在通过对光伏材料中原子尺度结构和现象的综合研究，开发硅基光伏材料（PV）的新设计原理。鉴于对清洁和可再生能源的迫切需求，开发更高效的光伏材料具有重大的全球重要性。澳大利亚在开发太阳能电池技术方面处于国际领先地位，并拥有开发这些技术的理想自然环境。该项目中获得的基本见解，如原子尺度下掺杂剂分布的详细3D地图，将提高澳大利亚在该领域的国际声誉，并在光伏器件的设计中提供更好的控制。

This project aims to develop new design principles for silicon-based photovoltaics (PVs) through a comprehensive study of atomic-scale structures and phenomena in PV materials. The development of more efficient photovoltaic materials is of major global importance, given the pressing need for clean and renewable sources of energy. Australia has international leadership in developing solar cell technologies, and the ideal natural environment to exploit these technologies. The fundamental insights derived in this project, such as detailed 3D maps of dopant distributions at the atomic scale, will bolster Australia's international reputation in the field and provide better control in the design of PV devices.
