Next-generation photovoltaics
The expanding world population has made the supply of renewable energy sources a pressing area of current research. We are working on the development of next-generation solar cells, with particular emphasis on:
- low-cost PV based on dye-sensitized metal-oxide particles and/or solution-processed carbon-based semiconductors
- thermo-photovoltaic cells based on inorganic semiconductors;
- generation of new active materials for PV through synthesis, characterization and implementation into devices.
