Funded Activity Summary

Perovskite Materials: Exploring properties beyond solar cells. This project aims to explore functionalities of metal halide perovskite materials for sustainable solar energy conversion and storage, beyond the heavily studied perovskite solar cell application. The project intends to design toxic lead free/less perovskite materials for an integrated photoelectrochemical hydrogen production and solar rechargeable battery system. It will study the relations between material synthesis conditions, device structure and performance of the photoelectrochemical system. Expected outcomes are low cost and more efficient solar-to-hydrogen conversion and solar energy storage devices, important for sustainable use of intermittent solar energy.
