- Devices made from new indium free quaternary chalcogenide copper zinc
tin sulphide (CZTS) phase Cu2ZnSnS4
- New window layer CdZnS developed for CdTe solar cells to capture more
of the solar spectrum
- World's thinnest Si solar cell using dyes for photon conversion.
- Grain engineering of CdTe solar cells using advanced nucleation techniques.
- New class of light capture structures using plasmonics.
- Demonstration of moth eye structures and modelling to give 10% more
light capture from dawn to dusk.
- 16 Ph.D students trained in advanced materials for solar energy conversion.
- Company engagement across the supply chain, e.g. assisting Pilkington
develop next generation of transparent conducting oxides (TCOs) for thin
film
- Range of techniques developed to provide unique insights to materials
and device performance that are enabling the consortium to achieve higher
efficiency cells (up to 16%) more consistently.
- We are always open to new collaborations!
