Photovoltaic and Renewable Energy Engineering
Metal halide perovskite solar cells have become one of the most competitive and promising next-generation photovoltaic technologies. Methylammonium (MA)-free perovskite attracts great interests due to its superior stability over MA containing perovskite. However, it is still challenging to prepare high-quality MA-free perovskite films with gas-quenching fabrication, which is a mass-production compatible technique that has been widely adopted in pilot lines of perovskite photovoltaics. This project aimed to develop gas-quenching compatible perovskite inks for high-quality MA-free perovskite films through optimization of the ligands and additives in the perovskite precursor inks. The field of research combines chemical engineering, materials engineering, as well as electrical engineering.
