[Abstract]
The third generation of photovoltaics has evolved various types of solar cells, each with its own challenges. The recent perovskite fever stems from the high efficiency achieved in a short time span, hitting over some 20%. This talk will report our recent work on perovskite solar cells by understanding the role of nanostructures, interfaces and film morphologies on the cell operation. The prospect of perovskite solar cells will be discussed.
[Biography]
Shihe Yang received his B.S. in Chemistry from Sun Yat-Sen University in China and a Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry in 1988 (with the Nobel Laureate Prof. Richard E. Smalley). He did post-doctoral research at Argonne National Laboratory and the University of Toronto (with the Nobel Laureate Prof. John C. Polanyi) before joining the faculty at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, where he is currently a full professor. His research interests include chemistry and physics of finite systems, clusters, nanomaterials, and energy conversion. He and co-workers made contributions to the understanding and development of cluster science, fullerenes/metallofullerenes, novel nanomaterials chemistry, new generation solar cells, and other energy conversion devices. He is an author/co-author of over 460 international journal publications and ~8 patents with over 16,000 citations (h-index > 70). His scientific research has been recognized by, among others, the State Natural Science Awards for the last consecutive two years. He is currently an editorial board member of several international journals including ChemNanoMat (VCH-Wiley), Sustainable Energy (Hans Publishers), International Journal of Nanotechnology (Inderscience Enterprises Ltd.), etc.
