Charge transfer kinetics at nanostructured semiconductor surfaces

该项目旨在加强对与纳米结构半导体表面电荷转移反应相关的界面科学的理解。实验和模拟方法将用来揭示表面润湿和纳米结构几何对表面电荷转移反应动力学的贡献。预期成果包括为设计的功能设计纳米结构半导体表面的增强能力，以及可以共同解决能源科学中的重大问题的扩展的合作网络。预计这些结果将通过可靠、低成本的硅光伏金属化和提高电化学存储系统的功率密度来实现。

This project aims to enhance understanding of the interface science associated with charge-transfer reactions at nanostructured semiconductor surfaces. Experimental and modelling approaches will be used to unravel the contributions of surface wetting and nanostructure geometry to the kinetics of charge transfer reactions at the surfaces. Expected outcomes include an enhanced capacity to engineer nanostructured semiconductor surfaces for designed functionality and an extended collaborative network which can collectively address significant problems in energy science. It is anticipated that these outcomes will be realised in reliable, low-cost metallisation for silicon photovoltaics and increased power densities for electrochemical storage systems.
