Project title: Design, construction and investigations of earth abundant materials based heterojunctions for high efficiency solar energy conversion.
Project Description: The need for clean, renewable and sustainable source of energy is a growing concern for present and future society. To meet this challenge, the new technological advances are necessary to replace the existing fuel infrastructure since current supplies of fossil fuels are steadily declining and produce toxic by-products. Therefore, it is clear from an economic, energetic and environmental standpoint, that the only solution which can meet these demands, is conversion of solar energy into clean fuels. However, it cannot happen without fabrication of the carefully designed micro/nanostructures incorporated in powerful heterojunction governing the overall efficiency of the device. Use of such high efficiency heterojunction is welcome to a number of fields including solar cells, photovoltaics, sensors, capacitors, artificial photosynthesis, biomimetics etc. Therefore, such studies should be directed towards deep understanding of the charge carrier behavior in single and complex semiconductor based systems. The investigations envisaged in this project, will be done with use of transient absorption spectroscopy and certainly reveal a dependence of the photoelectrode architecture on the charge carriers’ origin, separation, collection, trapping, lifetime and thus its effectiveness in the desiredphotelectrochemical processes.br />
Key responsibilities include:
Materials selection, synthesis & photoelectrochemical screening in order to adjust the components to the construction of a powerful heterojunction.
Design and fabrication of nanostructured semiconductor n-type and p-type photoelectrodes based on binary, ternary, and lanthanides systems with their parallel optimization and extensive structural and photoelectrochemical characterization.
Development of catalysts and their nano-architecture to enhance both, oxidation and reduction reactions with concomitant assembly of single systems to layered and core-shell structures with focus on disordered systems.
