An integrated kinetic measurement system enabling efficient solar energy conversion (2011–2012)
Abstract:
This proposal seeks to establish an integrated measuring system to fundamentally understand the reaction
kinetics of semiconductor materials in renewable energy conversion devices. The system combines a range
of integrated lasers and spectrometers to form a unique testing platform, which enables the measurement of
light induced transient absorption and emission decay kinetics, thus offering in-depth understanding and
guidelines for new high efficiency solar energy conversion devices. The expected outcomes will lead to
groundbreaking research in a variety of research fields, including low-cost solar cells, optoelectronics, and
semiconducting photocatalysis for efficient hydrogen production and water/air purification.
