Large Area Nanoparticle Deposition System

Newly emerging solar cell technologies such as organic photovoltaics and perovskite photovoltaics are widely expected to play an important role in providing society with significant amounts of inexpensive, environmentally friendly and renewable electricity in the years to come. These two promising solar cell technologies are in the “scale up” stage as they attempt to bridge the gap between academic research and commercial viability in the marketplace. Finding and understanding efficient ways to fabricate them over large areas is critically important to their survival and success today. Spray deposition holds great promise for providing the inexpensive and scalable fabrication method needed for producing certain layers for these cells, in particular for transparent electrodes. The main objective of the project here has been to build a state-of-the-art spray deposition platform/research tool to the Oxford University physics department building on the experience of the Fellow and train its members in its operation and exploitation in order to drive advancements in the research of next generation solar cells and eventually their successful introduction into the commercial market.
