Optimising the Mobility of Nanoporous Oxides

该项目旨在开发实用的策略，通过减少表面和界面的电荷捕获来提高纳米多孔金属氧化物薄膜的流动性。它将结合联合收割机第一原理理论建模与结构，光谱和物理材料表征，以了解在原子水平上的电荷捕获和指导材料改性策略，以提高流动性。透射电子显微镜的模拟将有助于与实验进行比较。与我们的工业合作伙伴（Cristal和DyeSol）密切合作，我们将在钙钛矿太阳能电池设备中采用优化的纳米多孔薄膜，以证明效率的提高。

The project aims to develop practical strategies to improve the mobility of nanoporous metal oxide films by reducing charge trapping at surface and interfaces. It will combine first principles theoretical modelling with structural, spectroscopic and photophysical materials characterisation, in order to understand charge trapping at an atomistic level and guide material modification strategies to improve mobility. Simulation of transmission electron microscopy will facilitate comparison with experiment. Working closely with our industrial partners (Cristal and DyeSol) we will incorporate optimised nanoporous films in perovskite solar cell devices to demonstrate an improvement in efficiency.
