Ab initio atomistic insights into lead-free perovskites for photovoltaics and optoelectronics

(2020) Ab initio atomistic insights into lead-free perovskites for photovoltaics and optoelectronics. PhD by Publication, Queensland University of Technology.

Description

This project focuses on the development of advanced non-toxic materials for the applications in energy generation and consumption devices like solar cells, light-emitting diodes, lasers and photodetectors. A first-principles density functional theory calculations are conducted to investigate the properties of a number of inorganic, hybrid and double perovskites compounds to predict their potential for applications in photovoltaics and optoelectronics. The achieved outcomes provide a better understanding of the structural, electronic, optical and mechanical properties of a group of potential compounds and provide new scientific knowledge to develop non-toxic high-quality organic-inorganic materials for photovoltaic and optoelectronic applications.

Search Google Scholar™

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.

Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
