About the Project
Organic–inorganic halide perovskite (OIHP) thin films at the heart of the burgeoning thin-film perovskite solar cells (PSCs) technology possess poor mechanical properties, which is likely to limit the long-term reliability of PSCs as they are poised for commercialization. To address this issue, we introduce this project to investigate self-healing techniques that can be applied to PSCs thin films, including, but not limited to, bending-tension, or heat-treatment. The new discovery of this project can lead to broad applications for the prevention and/or restoration of the overall performance, environmental stability, and mechanical reliability of PSCs, and other devices.
Entry requirements:
Candidates should have (or expect to obtain) a minimum of a UK upper second class honours degree (2.1) or equivalent in Electronic and Electrical Engineering, Physics, Computer Science, Mathematics or a closely related subject.
How to apply:
Applicants should apply via the University’s online application system at https://www.york.ac.uk/study/postgraduate-research/apply/. Please read the application guidance first so that you understand the various steps in the application process.
