Lead-free perovskite materials for solar cells and beyond

This project aims to develop high-performance lead-free perovskites and applications in solar cells and other optoelectronics. The project will design  new interfacial engineering and defect passivation strategies and target at high efficiencies in solar cells. The project will also explore new applications of lead-free halide perovskite materials.

This project is supported by the Research project scholarship.

You must contact the principal supervisor for this project to discuss your interest. You should only complete the online application after you have reached agreement on supervision.

Always make sure you are approaching your potential supervisor in a professional way. We have provided some guidelines for you on how to contact a supervisor.

Your application will be assessed on a competitive basis.

We take into account your:

• previous academic record
• publication record
• honours and awards
• employment history

A working knowledge of material science, physics or chemistry would be of benefit to someone working on this project.

You will demonstrate academic achievement in the field/s of solar cells and optoelectronic devices and the potential for scholastic success.

A background or knowledge of halide perovskite materials is highly desirable.
