Description

Safe and environmentally friendly perovskite photovoltaic technology. This project aims to counter the toxicity, environmental harmfulness, and instability of metal halide perovskite materials so they can be used as the core material in next-generation solar cells – by developing lead-free formulations and synthesis with safe, green, bio-sourced solvents. Expected outcomes include new knowledge about the solution chemistry of perovskite precursors, efficient fabrication processes for cost-effective industrial production, and new pathways for the full-scale manufacture of non-toxic, high-performance, long-lasting perovskite solar cells – with environmental and socioeconomic benefits from adopting a breakthrough world-leading technology to make optimal use of Australia’s inexhaustible abundance of solar energy.. Scheme: Early Career Industry Fellowships. Field: 4016 - Materials Engineering. Lead: Dr Minh Tam Hoang
