Investigating low-cost semiconductor materials that are compatible with high-volume manufacturing of solar energy devices.

Our research focuses on investigating low-cost semiconductor materials suitable for high-volume manufacturing of solar energy devices. To achieve this, we aim to identify materials that exhibit optimal performance characteristics while being economically viable for large-scale production. The materials are evaluated based on properties such as bandgap, conductivity and stability to determine their suitability for use in solar energy devices.

Our team will explore novel fabrication techniques and processing methods to enhance the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of manufacturing these materials. This includes experimentation with deposition techniques, surface treatments, and material doping to optimize their performance. Additionally, we will utilize advanced characterization techniques such as spectroscopy and microscopy to gain insights into the structural and electronic properties of these materials. This will help us understand their behaviour under different environmental conditions and ensure their long-term stability and reliability in solar energy applications.

Our goal:

To identify semiconductor materials that meet the performance requirements for solar energy devices and offer a cost-effective solution for large-scale deployment. These materials will serve as the foundation for the development of next-generation solar technologies, contributing to the widespread adoption of renewable energy sources and addressing global energy challenges.
