Stable Non-toxic Organic-inorganic Halide Perovskite Solar Cells

该项目旨在开发稳定无毒的下一代有机-无机卤化物太阳能电池。尽管新兴的钙钛矿太阳能电池技术取得了迅速的进展，但目前它依赖于铅作为关键的钙钛矿成分。从有机-无机卤化物钙钛矿太阳能电池中去除铅将大大增加其作为替代薄膜光伏解决方案的接受度，因为它们的低成本和无毒性质。缺乏无铅钙钛矿太阳能电池的演示和相对较低的转换效率表明低估了它们的潜力。该项目计划通过表征和建模其光学和电学特性来提高对其光伏特性的理解。然后，它计划应用新的制造方法来开发无铅太阳能设备。

The project aims to develop next-generation organic-inorganic halide solar cells which are stable and non-toxic. Although rapid progress has been made in the emerging perovskite solar cell technology, it currently relies on lead as a key perovskite component. The elimination of lead from organic-inorganic halide perovskite solar cells would greatly increase their acceptance as an alternative thin film photovoltaic solution because of their low cost and non-toxic nature. The dearth of lead-free perovskite solar cell demonstrations and the relatively low conversion efficiencies demonstrated understate their potential. This project plans to improve understanding of their photovoltaic enabling attributes by characterising and modelling their optical and electrical properties. It then plans to apply new fabrication methods to develop lead-free solar devices.
