Perovskite Materials: Exploring properties beyond solar cells

该项目旨在探索金属卤化物钙钛矿材料在可持续太阳能转换和存储方面的功能，超出了钙钛矿太阳能电池应用的广泛研究。该项目旨在为集成光电化学制氢和太阳能可充电电池系统设计有毒的无铅/少钙钛矿材料。研究材料合成条件、器件结构与光电化学系统性能之间的关系。预期的结果是低成本和更高效的太阳能制氢转换和太阳能存储设备，这对间歇性太阳能的可持续利用很重要。

This project aims to explore functionalities of metal halide perovskite materials for sustainable solar energy conversion and storage, beyond the heavily studied perovskite solar cell application. The project intends to design toxic lead free/less perovskite materials for an integrated photoelectrochemical hydrogen production and solar rechargeable battery system. It will study the relations between material synthesis conditions, device structure and performance of the photoelectrochemical system. Expected outcomes are low cost and more efficient solar-to-hydrogen conversion and solar energy storage devices, important for sustainable use of intermittent solar energy.
