Electronic properties of next generation perovskite solar cell materials
There is a new class material that is already showing the potential to compete with silicon in solar cell technology. These new materials are based on the metal halide perovskite system and the aim of the PhD is to relate the structural properties to the electronic properties. Read more
Routes to stable organic solar cell
Organic solar cells have seen a huge resurgence since the replacement of fullerene acceptors by non-fullerene acceptors (NFA’s). With a whole zoo of different NFA’s, these have seen the power conversion efficiency reach dizzying new records. Read more

Carrier lifetimes in silicon solar cells measured by muon spin spectroscopy
Photovoltaic installations have recently reached the terawatt level and this is almost entirely due to the success of silicon-based solar cell technologies. Read more
Design and fabrication of energy scavenging thin film materials
For many decades crystalline silicon solar cells have dominated the solar market. But, this dominance may now be challenged with the emergence of perovskite solar cells as well as organic solar cells which are performing in excess of 15%. Read more
Atomic Layer Deposition of Novel Nanolayer Materials for Solar Cells
Solar photovoltaics (PV) has emerged as THE breakthrough technology which will underpin the coming clean energy transition and allow us to address the epochal challenge of climate change. Read more
New materials for solar cells
We have a vacancy for a PhD student to work on the synthesis and characterisation of new materials for solar cells. Hybrid lead halide perovskites are attracting considerable interest due to their potential as photovoltaic materials for solar cells with very high efficiencies. Read more
Energy Resolving Photodetection with Hot Carriers
The School of Photovoltaic & Renewable Energy Engineering (SPREE) within the UNSW Faculty of Engineering has been at the leading edge of global solar cell development for over 30 years, reporting many world record solar cell efficiencies and furthering the development of a range of associated optoelectronic devices.
