Dr TC Lee, Prof I P Parkin
No more applications being accepted
Competition Funded PhD Project (European/UK Students Only)
About the Project
This position is fully funded by the TCL group together with the Centre for Doctoral Training in Molecular Modelling and Materials Science (M3S CDT) at UCL. The Studentship will cover tuition fees at UK/EU rate plus a maintenance stipend £16,777 (tax free) pro rata for 3 years.
This PhD project aims to develop novel hybrid nanomaterials that can efficiently harvest light and transport charges, which will synergise with other experimental and modelling effort led by the Lee’s and the Parkin’s groups. In particular, hybrid nanoparticles of oxides and plasmonic metals will be designed and synthesised based on our in-house annealing-free protocols. Structural parameters, including shape, composition, ligand and material arrangement (e.g. core-shell, Janus), will be investigated and optimised. The resultant nanoparticles will be used to fabricate charge transport layers in flexible Perovskite solar cells, performance of which will then be studied at the full-device level. Meanwhile, these hybrid plasmonic nanoparticles will also be used to make soft optical sensors for on-site detection of biomolecules and explosives.
