Submitted by admin on June 26, 2008 - 2:47pm.The research activities of this group are aimed at developing high-efficiency sensitized solid-state and liquid-junction nanostructured solar cells based on mesoporous photosystems. Sensitizers include quantum-scaled semiconductors and molecular dyes. The position involves research in designing, fabricating, and characterizing sensitized porous nanocrystalline semiconductor thin films and the associated solar cells and investigating possible factors limiting solar cell efficiency and stability. This research is part of integrated program involving both applied and basic research (e.g., J. Phys. Chem. B, 2006, 110, 12485; Nano Lett. 7, 69 (2007); Nano Lett. 7, 3739 (2007)). In addition to the applied work, the researcher is expected to contribute to parallel research aimed at establishing a basic understanding of charge transport and interfacial phenomena governing the cell performance.
