Description du projet
Les cellules solaires pérovskites font un pas de plus vers leur commercialisation
Les dichalcogénures de métaux de transition sont des semi-conducteurs qui incorporent des métaux de transition et des chalcogènes. Ils constituent un composant prometteur pour les applications optoélectroniques telles que les cellules solaires, les photodétecteurs et autres dispositifs de détection. Cependant, la faible conductivité verticale de ces matériaux 2D a limité leur potentiel pour la construction de cellules solaires pérovskites stables à haut rendement. Le projet SMILIES, financé par l’UE, entend remédier à ce problème. Il va concevoir de petites molécules à conductivité verticale améliorée et les appliquer comme matériaux de transport de trou dans les cellules solaires pérovskites p-i-n. L’objectif final est de produire des cellules solaires pérovskites dont le rendement de conversion électrique dépasse 24 %, ce qui constitue un coup de pouce important pour rapprocher la technologie de sa commercialisation.
Objectif
SMILIES is based on perovskite solar cells (PSC) employing Transition Metal Dichalcogenides (TMDs) in a cutting-edge approach for the fabrication of stable and efficient PSCs. The current bottleneck are poor vertical conductivity in 2-dimenisional TMD and stability of PSCs. The research strategy to overcome such challenges are as follows: i) design, develop and optimization of quasi-3D TMD:small molecules with improved vertical conductivity and apply them as hole transporting materials in p-i-n PSCs; ii) fabricate high efficiency and stable PSCs (PCE >24%) with optimized TMDs quantum dots as top transporting materials. The project will overcome barrier to promote TMDs application in other opto-electrical devices, and will advances the commercialization of PSCs and TMDs. The expected results of the project will contribute to European excellence and competiveness in renewable energy field.
The transferable aim of SMILIES is to provide training to the fellow in the emerging field of photovoltaics and corresponding materials, where host has a critical knowledge and expertise. The training program includes knowledge acquisition and characterization of organic materials, developing quasi-3D nanocomposites and TMD quantum dots and in-stu measurement for charge dynamics of PSCs. During his short research career, the applicant has gained expertise in the field of photovoltaics and inorganic materials. To further boost his career, the applicant needs to broaden his knowledge in the field of photovoltaics, and within framework of project he will acquire expertise in the field of organic and nanocomposite materials. This will complement the existing expertise in inorganic materials. Further, the success of the project will provide more opportunity to gain supervision and teaching experience, project and intellectual property management research funding and proposal writing skills, which are critical for the applicant to secure a long-term international career and collaboration.
