Summary
Overcoming the Intrinsic Instability of Perovskites Materials and Devices. This project aims to improve the intrinsic stability of metal halide perovskite energy materials for advanced optoelectronic applications. The key concept is to suppress the phase-segregation for alloyed perovskite by interstitial management as well as develop low-temperature crystallization for non-alloyed perovskite through rational design of the intermediate phase evolution, which has the potential to generate new know ....Overcoming the Intrinsic Instability of Perovskites Materials and Devices. This project aims to improve the intrinsic stability of metal halide perovskite energy materials for advanced optoelectronic applications. The key concept is to suppress the phase-segregation for alloyed perovskite by interstitial management as well as develop low-temperature crystallization for non-alloyed perovskite through rational design of the intermediate phase evolution, which has the potential to generate new knowledge in addressing the key challenge on the operational stability of perovskite devices. The outcomes are expected to deliver valuable intellectual property to accelerate the commercialization of perovskite technology, enabling low-cost utilization of solar energy for a sustainable and low carbon-emission economy.Read moreRead less
Designing a spectrometer to search for life on extrasolar planets. Finding indicators of life on extrasolar planets is one of the greatest science questions of our time. Astronomers have found rocky, earth-like exoplanets; now we need powerful spectrometers to search for biomarkers in their atmospheres, detecting the faint imprints from molecules associated with life in the colour spectrum of stars. This project will develop the instruments and technologies required to enable spectroscopy with m ....Designing a spectrometer to search for life on extrasolar planets. Finding indicators of life on extrasolar planets is one of the greatest science questions of our time. Astronomers have found rocky, earth-like exoplanets; now we need powerful spectrometers to search for biomarkers in their atmospheres, detecting the faint imprints from molecules associated with life in the colour spectrum of stars. This project will develop the instruments and technologies required to enable spectroscopy with massively multiplexed telescopes. A spectrometer design with large spectral bandwidth and high resolution, optimised for a facility consisting of thousands of small telescopes, and novel optical fibres to link them, will open the door for breakthrough science requiring an entirely new class of telescope.Read moreRead less

This project aims to develop technologies enabling stable perovskite photovoltaic (PV) devices with efficiency beyond 25%. The project is built upon my up-to-date achievements on efficiency and patented technologies on stability. The key concept is to lay single-crystalline-featured electron-transport-layer as foundation, followed by superior and neat perovskite light harvesting material through backbone modulation, crystal-facets management and surface-impurity removal. The outcomes are expected to deliver intellectual property academically and commercially, including new knowledge in addressing challenges toward efficient and stable perovskite PV devices and the associated patents for next-stage commercialization.Read moreRead less
