Solar cells are becoming an increasingly large part of our electricity generation network. While current technologies perform well, many researchers are looking at developing new types of solar cells that can be printed onto flexible substrates using technologies similar to that used in other conventional manufacturing processes. Such solar cells offer opportunities in terms of high efficiency and low costs. The company Ossila sells materials and equipment to researchers developing solar cells and retails a coating machine called a 'slot-die coater'. This allows solutions to be coated onto a surface using similar technologies to those used in large-scale printing to make solar cells. In this project, Ossila would like a PhD student to help further develop slot-die technologies. In particular, Ossila would like the student to explore integrating a 'gas-jet' into their slot-die coater; this will flow a jet of high-pressure gas over the printed films to increase their uniformity and improve solar-cell functionality. Ossila would also like their slot-die coater adapted to allow printing onto fully flexible films. In all cases, the student will characterise the efficiency of solar cells which are made Ossila's new and emerging products. The student will also be involved in the commercialisation of new products, and will develop web-site content that will help drive sales.

太阳能电池正在成为我们发电网络中越来越重要的一部分。虽然目前的技术表现良好，但许多研究人员正在考虑开发新型太阳能电池，这些电池可以使用与其他传统制造工艺类似的技术印刷到柔性基板上。这种太阳能电池提供了高效率和低成本的机会。 Ossila 公司向开发太阳能电池的研究人员出售材料和设备，并零售一种称​​为“槽模涂布机”的涂布机。这使得可以使用与大规模印刷制造太阳能电池所使用的技术类似的技术将溶液涂覆到表面上。在这个项目中，Ossila 希望一名博士生帮助进一步开发槽模技术。 Ossila 特别希望学生探索将“气体喷射”集成到他们的狭缝模头涂布机中；这将使高压气体射流流过印刷薄膜，以提高薄膜的均匀性并改善太阳能电池的功能。 Ossila 还希望他们的狭缝模头涂布机能够在完全柔性的薄膜上进行印刷。在所有情况下，学生都将表征 Ossila 新兴产品的太阳能电池的效率。该学生还将参与新产品的商业化，并将开发有助于推动销售的网站内容。
