Solar cells has highly attracted great interest in order to solve the global warming and other environmental issues. Focusing on creating second and third generation solar cells with ultra-high energy conversion efficiency and low manufacturing cost, our main objectives are elucidating photoelectric conversion mechanism, developing new solar cell structure, and generating new solar cell materials.
Pb-free perovskite solar cells
Development of efficient perovskite solar cell based on lead free perovskite layer and new charge transporting materials (ETM and HTM) which is environment friendly.
