CSER is the management hub of the SUPERGEN consortium "Photovoltaic Materials for the 21st Century" (PV21), with more than 20 years combined experience in photovoltaic (PV) and metal-organic chemical vapour deposition (MOCVD). PhD Studentship - Photovoltaics - Thin Film PV Solar Cells
PhD studentship from the University of Wales (EPSRC - PV21 SUPERGEN Project), with registration through the North East Wales Institute (NEWI). The consortium’s researchers are working on thin film semiconductor-based solar cells using materials such as silicon, cadmium telluride and copper indium di-selenide. The aim is to reduce the cost (£/Wp) of at least one class of solar cells by 50%, and research is focusing on the physics and chemistry that is most likely to improve efficiency and reduce costs. Various avenues can be employed to improve cell efficiencies from light trapping (extending the amount of sunlight converted to electricity), device and grains engineering. The offered studentship is an exciting project, funded for 3 ½ years, to explore novel ways of increasing photon capture for various thin film PV technologies. The dynamic team at CSER has a unique capability to research high quality materials by MOCVD techniques (achieving high cell efficiencies). Various other deposition techniques will also be available for achieving the student’s goals. Extensive equipment capabilities will be available for characterisation. The project will allow the PhD student to have the unique prospect for training with top class PV research groups in the UK.
