Bismuth-chalcohalide solar cells

该项目旨在通过了解和优化界面、材料特性和载流子传输，突破两位数的效率，使硫卤化铋应用于SIPV。研究将突破以下三个关键阶段：(I)溶液沉积硫卤化铋薄膜，(Ii)其光电和电荷传输特性，以及(Iii)太阳能光伏器件的设计、制造和分析。为了实现这一点，您将使用一系列材料加工的化学和物理方法，以及基于结晶学、光谱工具和电测量的仪器表征。这项工作的范围是跨学科的，任何有化学、物理或工程背景的人都可以从事这项工作。研究环境包括一支由15名以上研究人员组成的充满活力的团队、新装修的实验室和对光伏设备的大量投资。

This project aims to enable bismuth chalcohalides for SIPV by breaching double-digit efficiency through understanding and optimisation of interfaces, material properties and carrier transport.The research will be groundbreaking through the following three key stages: (i) solution deposition of bismuth chalcohalide films, (ii) their optoelectronic and charge-transport characterisation, and (iii) design, fabrication and analysis of devices for solar photovoltaics. To achieve this, you will use a range of chemical and physical methods of materials processing and instrumental characterisation based on crystallographic, spectroscopic tools and electrical measurements. The scope of this work is interdisciplinary and can be pursued by anyone with a background in chemistry, physics or engineering. The research environment includes a dynamic team of over 15 researchers, newly refurbished laboratories and substantial investment in photovoltaic equipment.
