A three pronged approach is employed to achieve this end (i) determination of loss mechanisms associated with scale – decreases in performance when increasing from lab scale to pilot scale. (ii) Addressing process bottlenecks to reduce fabrication time (iii) Architectural translation - ensuring the widest range of substrates by building devices on sheet processed glass and roll to roll metal or plasticIn particular my research activity entails coating and curing of photoactive materials, lab and sub-module scale manufacture of PV devices as well as characterisation of photoactive materials both via electrochemical and optoelectronic methods. The research stretches across a number of different technologies: perovskite, OPV, solid state dye-sensitized solar cells and kesterite CZTS (Cu2ZnSnS4). Show less
