Perovskite solar cell, as the third generation solar cell power generation technology to replace silicon-based solar cell, has always been the focus of photovoltaic research. In the past decade, the research on perovskite solar cells has achieved rapid development, with the conversion efficiency increasing from 3.9% to 24.2%. Perovskite is generally acknowledged as the next generation solar cell technology with great commercial potential.
So far, perovskite needs to go through repeated tests to achieve commercialization. Despite great progress made in a very short time, there are some major obstacles to overcome, including unstable material and complicated process etc..
To give credit to the many latest progresses made in the technology, Solarbe will present a webinar, as one of the technology series liveshow, to illustrate recent findings and in-depth research in perovskite high efficiency solar cell.
Join us at 16:00-17:40, January 11, 2022 Beijing Time (GMT+8), to learn more about latest findings. Register here.
We’ve invited industrial experts from home and abroad to share their insights, they are:
Hou Yi, Solar Energy Research Institute of Singapore (SERIS)
Yi Hou is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at the NUS and the Head of Perovskite-based Multijunction Solar Cell Groups at Solar Energy Research Institute of Singapore (SERIS). Dr. Hou is leading a research group of over 5 research fellows and 8 PhD students investigating the physics and chemistry of optoelectronic materials and devices to advance sustainable energy. One part of his team will focus on material synthesis and characterizations—perovskites and organics with highly tunable optoelectronic properties—and another on the fabrication of perovskite-based solar cells—a class of semiconductors that has recently emerged and led to astonishing progress in tandem photovoltaics. Hou group’s works have highlighted the basic physical properties of perovskites, resulting in high-performance optoelectronic devices.
Terry Chien-Jen Yang, Marie Skłodowska-Curie at StranksLab, University of Cambridge
Dr. Terry Chien-Jen Yang received his PhD in Photovoltaic Engineering (2016) and BEng in Photovoltaic and Solar Energy Engineering with 1st Class Hons. (2011) from UNSW in Sydney, Australia. He is currently a Marie Skłodowska-Curie postdoctoral fellow at StranksLab, University of Cambridge, working on lightweight and flexible all-perovskite triple-junction solar cells. Previously, he worked on perovskite-silicon tandem solar cells as a postdoctoral research fellow at CSIRO Energy in Newcastle, Australia (2019-2021) and as a MSCA fellow / postdoctoral scientist at PV-Lab, EPFL in Switzerland (2017-2019). His research interests include: perovskite solar cells, crystalline silicon, and tandem/multijunction solar cells, as well as the materials science of other photovoltaic technologies.
Yaohua Mai, Institute of New Energy Technology, Jinan University
Prof. Mai is the Professor, Director of Institute of New Energy Technology, Jinan University. After graduated and received the doctor’s degree from Forschungszentrum Jülich in Germany, he joined the Debye Institute of Utrecht University in the Netherlands to engage in the research of thin film silicon materials and solar cells, with more than 30 related papers have been published, which are widely used. One of the papers has become the most cited article by SCI in the field of thin film silicon solar cells in recent five years. In 2005, he set a world record for the conversion efficiency of mono junction microcrystalline silicon pin cells.
Prof. Mai currently also serves as the CTO of Tianwei Thin-Film Photovoltaic Co., Ltd. of China South Industries Group Co., Ltd..
