Project description:
This 4-year PhD position, part of the STRIPS Project at Swansea University, offers a unique opportunity to delve into the device operating physics of mesoporous carbon perovskite solar cells. The project will focus on using optoelectronic perturbation techniques such as transient photovoltage decay and impedance spectroscopy to probe the fundamental aspects of these innovative solar cells.
You will join a dynamic doctoral cohort comprising 4-6 PhD students across 5 research groups, all commencing in 2024. This setup fosters a collaborative and interdisciplinary research environment, enabling you to work closely with peers and experts within Swansea University and across the UK.
Your research will contribute to the understanding of mesoporous carbon perovskite solar cells, aiming to enhance their efficiency and operational understanding. This project is not only about advancing the scientific knowledge in the field but also about contributing to sustainable and renewable energy solutions.
Candidates with a strong background or interest in photovoltaics, device physics, renewable energy, and related fields are encouraged to apply. This PhD position is an excellent opportunity for those passionate about advancing solar cell technology and contributing to the development of clean energy sources.
As part of this project, you will have the opportunity to present your research findings both internally and externally, including at conferences and in peer-reviewed journals. This PhD Scholarship is a chance to engage in high-impact research at the cutting edge of renewable energy technologies, under the guidance of leading experts in the field. Based at Swansea University's Bay Campus, you will be an integral part of a research group dedicated to advancing the field of photovoltaics and renewable energy.
If you are enthusiastic about contributing to a sustainable future and possess the relevant skills and interests, this PhD opportunity at Swansea University presents a perfect platform to develop your research career in renewable energy technologies.
