Abstract:
My research focuses on the applications of carbon allotropes to providing solution intrinsic problems of now emerging thin-film photovoltaics, namely silicon solar cells, organic solar cells, and perovskite solar cells. Their limited power conversion efficiency, stability, and stretchability can be improved by employing carbon allotropes which comprises of only carbon atoms. Carbon nanotube, graphene, and fullerene, exhibit various electronic properties depending on their structural configurations, ranging from conductors to semiconductors. Their earth-abundance and resilient nature means that they are perfect replacements for the conventional materials, which are finite and inflexible. In this talk, I will introduce mainly carbon nanotube and fullerene applications in organic and perovskite solar cells and how they are making an impact to the field of solar cells.
