Talk Information
Solar cells, directly converting the solar energy into electricity, have been well recognized as one of the most promising renewable energy technologies to provide clean and abundant energy resources. So far there are different types of solar technologies in the solar market, and in this talk I will briefly describe the development of the solar technology and the main challenges we face to manufacture and apply them in large scale. I will also introduce all the new methods, functional materials and interfacial charge engineering strategy I have developed in aiming to improve the efficiency, stability and scalability of different solar cell technologies. I will conclude with a personal perspective on directions for the future development of solar technologies, which may involve the design of new functional materials, device architecture and advanced interface engineering.
