Description
Recently halide-perovskites made a huge impact in the field of renewable energy solution. Being ultimately low-cost in production such solar cells have already crossed over confirmed 20% of record-breaking energy conversion efficiency of thin-film single-junction solar cells. Moreover, these solar cells promise to achieve even higher efficiency because of very high open-circuit voltage generation under full sun illumination. The open-circuit voltage to energy band gap ratio of polycrystalline halide-perovskite solar cells is close to that of the best monocrystalline GaAs solar cells and more than that of the best Cu(In,Ga)Se2 and CdTe thin-film solar cells. A simple chemical hub is needed for fabrication of halide-perovskite solar cells. However, low-cost fabrication usually leads to defects, aging, hysteresis and instability, which destroy performance of perovskite solar cells. Therefore well understanding of fabrication chemistry and physics of such solar cells are required for fabrication of high quality halide-perovskite solar cells. I am a physicist/researcher with an extensive experience in studying of different solar cells. My knowledge and experience will be useful if you decide to start development of halide-perovskite solar cells. I may participate in fabrication, experiments, interpretation of experimental results, understanding of physical processes, modeling of the solar cell structures, and planning of new experiments. I prefer a close collaboration with experimental group. My current scientific interest is focusing on perovskite, chalcopyrites, kesterites, and organic solar cells. However, I am ready to work also in other topics.
