In this project, DZP Technologies is aiming to develop and commercialise innovative solar cells based on a new group of materials called perovskites. Perovskites have recently been the focus of intense research interest worldwide, because they offer low-temperature solution processing, low cost, colour selection for enhanced aesthetics, and crucially, high power conversion efficiencies. Flexible, cheap and lightweight printed cells could find a range of novel future applications, including solar shades, use for energy generation in remote or disaster areas, powering portable electronic devices and even electrical vehicles.
This innovative project will be carried out in collaboration with the University of Surrey’s Advanced Technology Institute, aiming to overcome some of the necessary technical hurdles to realise perovskite solar cells. While many researchers around the world are racing to demonstrate record power conversion and scientific breakthrough in understanding the perovskite materials, DZP Technologies is aiming to use their expertise and skills to realise a new commercially viable solar technology addressing real-life issues about cost, long-term stability, and performance.
“We are extremely proud of Harry’s achievement”, says Dr Stoeva, managing director of DZP Technologies. “These fellowships are awarded on the basis of a rigorous academic review, and Harry had to compete with candidates supported by global companies with long histories in industrial research. The award is a recognition for the talent of our people and capability of our company to produce cutting edge research and innovation.”
DZP Technologies is now looking forward to working with their business and academic partners to turn their expertise in solar energy research into commercial applications.
