Solar Cells and Optoelectronic Devices

Research Plan

In Nanoparticles and Coatings Lab, our focus is on developing technologies for printed solar cells. In particular, we develop electronic inks, work on how to print them into devices, and study device physics in order to optimize the performance of the devices. Most of our recent research is around perovskite solar cells, with emphasis on printing and scale-up.
