项目摘要

Widespread implementation of photovoltaic electricity to meet changing energy demands requires a step-change in the cost of photovoltaic power. This proposal assembles a consortium of chemists, physicists, materials scientists and electrical engineers from The University of Manchester and Imperial College London to address this need through the development of new low-cost, high-efficiency, demonstration solar cells for micro-generation.We propose new designs for hybrid organic/inorganic devices which integrate flexibility and stability with inexpensive materials and solution based processing. In one design, semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) are used as the light absorber at the interface between a high mobility organic hole transporter and an array of directed metal oxide nano-rods, which act as the electron transporter. Independent optimisation of the optical and electronic properties will lead to design rules for maximising power conversion efficiency. In a second design, hybrid polymer/QD blend solar cells with novel metal oxide electrodes will be optimised. This proposal combines new approaches for ultra high efficiency with ultra low cost in the same device concept for the first time. Our aim is to construct affordable demonstration hybrid solar cells that could be mass-produced with long-term potential to achieve energy conversion efficiency of 10%.

为了满足不断变化的能源需求，广泛实施光伏发电需要大幅降低光伏发电的成本。该提案聚集了来自曼彻斯特大学和伦敦帝国理工学院的化学家、物理学家、材料科学家和电气工程师组成的联盟，通过开发用于微型发电的新型低成本、高效率、示范太阳能电池来满足这一需求。提出了混合有机/无机器件的新设计，将灵活性和稳定性与廉价材料和基于解决方案的处理相结合。在一种设计中，半导体量子点（QD）用作高迁移率有机空穴传输器和定向金属氧化物纳米棒阵列（充当电子传输器）之间界面处的光吸收器。光学和电子特性的独立优化将产生最大化功率转换效率的设计规则。在第二种设计中，具有新型金属氧化物电极的混合聚合物/量子点混合太阳能电池将得到优化。该提案首次将超高效率和超低成本的新方法结合在同一设备概念中。我们的目标是构建经济实惠的示范混合太阳能电池，该电池可以大规模生产，并具有实现 10% 能量转换效率的长期潜力。
