Thesis Title: Efficient, Stable Organic-Inorganic Hybrid Solar Cells
Research Summary: Hybrid solar cells made of inorganic semiconductor oxides in direct contact with organic light harvesting polymers are an attractive replacement to conventional solar cells. The goal of my research is to enhance photovoltaic efficiency and stability of hybrid solar cells by systematically investigating the complex relationships among the different materials used in these cells, in particular the interfaces between them.
