We speak with Professor Hongxia Wang from QUT about a new project that hopes to utilize graphene and other low-cost carbon materials to produce commercially viable, ultra low-cost, flexible perovskite solar cells.
Interview conducted by Megan Craig, M.Sc.Oct 24 2023 Thought LeadersProfessor Hongxia WangSchool of Chemistry and PhysicsQueensland University of Technology The project involves industry partners First Graphene and Halocell Industry and has been awarded funding from the Australian government’s Cooperative Research Centres Project.
How can perovskite solar cells help to address these problems? Advanced Materials eBook Compilation of the top interviews, articles, and news in the last year. Download a free copy One of the advantageous features of perovskite solar cells is their high energy conversion efficiency achieved by solution processing fabrication methods. The metal halide based perovskite light-absorbing semiconductor material has a high light absorption coefficient and is very tolerant to defects.
Since Halocell/Greatcell Energy and First Graphene have shared a mutual interest in the production of perovskite solar cells, it was natural for us to form a partnership in the project to develop ultra-low-cost solar cells based on perovskite solar cell technology. One of the key materials to be utilized in this project is graphene. Could you discuss the current landscape for graphene and other carbon-based materials in solar cell technology? Graphene is an allotrope of carbon. Because of its excellent conductivity, researchers have used it in perovskite solar cells to improve the device’s performance and stability.
